INTO x National Trust webinar series: Heritage and nature – using the past for the future
This series of webinars has now concluded – please keep an eye on our channels for an update later in the year.
INTO partnered with the National Trust (England, Wales & Northern Ireland) on a series of webinars exploring how landscape-scale nature recovery, as part of our responses to climate change, is challenging and influencing the way we understand, manage and make the most of the history of these places, now and for the future.
Each session reflected on the role of people and heritage in supporting nature recovery in different ecological contexts, sharing approaches from the National Trust estate and experiences, insights and practical responses from across our global network.
Programme details
Across the globe our landscapes are facing an era of unprecedented change, as we respond to the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss through nature recovery at pace and scale to create and restore habitats.
We know that these landscapes, and the habitats within them are deeply cultural spaces, with rich histories reflecting the relationship between communities and their environment over millennia. As a result, this transformation demands new ways of thinking and knowing – ways that are holistic, inclusive and grounded in the deep interconnections between people, place and nature in the past, and for the future.
