Agriculture and Green Spaces

Thursday 26 January at 6.30 pm

Seminar to be held at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Wilberforce Road, Cambridge CB3 0WA

2030 Vision is an ambitious two-year project to look at what we want Cambridge and its surrounding area to be like in 2030 and to ask what we need to put in place now to achieve that. The aim is to develop a vision that local authorities and others can take into account in their statutory processes. Over the next two years 10 topics will be considered – the next is on local agriculture and green spaces. Local green spaces are very valuable assets for people and wildlife, and their creation and management is something all communities can become involved in.

· What is the value of green spaces?

· How do providing green spaces and growing enough of our own food go together?

Come and give your views in a discussion led by Rob Hammond, with introductory talks by – Catherine Cairns, Cambridgeshire Green Infrastructure Forum Chair – Elizabeth Ranelagh, Farm Conservation Advisor – Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group
