The Natural Environment: Use it but Don’t Lose it!

BSc Land Management students were invited guests of the Northamptonshire Local Nature Partnership group at a conference held at the University of Northampton today. Students were treated to a Ministerial address from Lord de Mauley TD – the Parliamentary Under Secretary of the State for Natural Environment Science. Lord de Mauley alongside Jo Lappin from the Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership built a case for weaving environmental sustainability into economic and social agendas to enable the Northamptonshire region to prosper. Later speakers emphasised the value the general public associate with the Nene Valley Improvement Area and the exciting Rushden Lakes development, an integrated project involving a private developer and Natural England.
