Orchards and Groves: Their History, Ecology, Culture and Archaeology
A conference on this relatively poorly-documented area that will address topics fundamental to the conservation of these wonderful and iconic landscape features.
The conference will cover the lessons of history and landscape change, of cultural change and abandonment.
The conference will be international in flavour and cover issues from archaeology to modern-day emergence of organic products, of added value, and of the tourism plate.
Papers on tree management and on nature conservation matters, as well as on community involvement and educational issues are welcome.
£75.00. Places can be booked on 0114 272 4227 or by emailing info@hallamec.plus.com
