Changing Face of Green Space - Communicate 2017 - Matt Postles

Editor's Notes

  1. Programmes and intro BioBlitz – engaging people with Green Spaces Setting the scene
  2. BNHC Programmes Communicate – professional development, discussion and dissemination Festival of Nature – platform for public engagement BioBlitz – innovation and engaging people with Green Spaces, Setting the scene
  3. AIMS: Engage people with local green spaces and wildlife Collect citizen science data to inform conservation and research Oldbury Court BioBlitz, Bristol 2015
  4. Advocacy Research Tools and resources
  5. Recent research - What we know What don’t we know?
  6. Piloting a new format in 2018 – what is important for us to consider? BioBlitz New and exciting in 2010 as a new way to reach more, more diverse audiences Race against the clock Single site over 24 hours 60+ events across the country annually + growing international network City Nature Challenge New and exciting in 2018 as a new way to reach more, more diverse audiences International, inter-city competition City wide over 4 days 90+ cities across the globe
  7. We may have different priorities and expectations of green space but all working towards a set of desirable outcomes We work under shared assumptions that increasing use, and increasing diversity of people using, these spaces will lead to these desirable outcomes, in turn increasing the ‘quality’ of green space to create a positive feedback loop. We design our interventions and engagement practice around these assumptions but are these assumptions accurate? Useful? Is this model working? (As wildlife continues to decline, funding and policy continues to lag behind, etc.)
  8. Bring together examples of great practice, innovative ideas and forward thinking Kick start with examples and ideas from National Trust and Ellie’s grassroots community work
