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.
