Councils to host Call for land summit in September

Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils are hosting a free event in September for local landowners in the districts to help put them in touch with organisations that can support them in managing their land better for wildlife.

Call for land summit attendees include environmental organisations working across both Babergh and Mid Suffolk, such as the Suffolk Wildlife Trust, Woodland Trust and Forestry Commission, among others.

They will be able to offer landowners advice, support, funding and resources to help ensure their land best supports our native wildlife. This could be tree planting, hedge planting, meadow creation or allowing land to develop naturally.

The summit will take place at The Mix in Stowmarket on 5 September between 10am-2pm.

Attendees will benefit from presentations, landowner case studies, as well as networking opportunities.

Interested landowners can reserve their place via Eventbrite

The councils have already helped put almost 40 landowners in Babergh and Mid Suffolk in touch with organisations that can help them with this work.
