Leicestershire & Rutland Nature Conservation Forum

The Leicestershire County Council Nature Conservation Forum was set up in 1995 and meets twice a year at County Hall, Glenfield. The meetings, hosted by the Chairman of Leicestershire County Council, are a half day focus on nature conservation issues.
The meetings provide nature conservation, wildlife and environmental groups a chance to meet and hear about the latest news about conservation related policies, local projects and the work of agencies to protect and conserve the natural heritage and wildlife it supports across the Leicestershire and Rutland area.

Who can attend?

The meetings are open to:
  • local conservation, environmental and natural history groups,
  • conservation and environmental agencies and bodies,
  • local authority conservation and ecology staff,
  • parish councils,
  • local tree and heritage wardens.
Whilst the meetings are free to attend, attendance must be booked.
