LIFEscape final conferenceLund, 24-25th September 2013
Lund municipality hosted the final conference of the LIFEscape project. Within the two years of our cooperation we have shown how the European Landscape Convention can work in practice in our four pilot areas in Sweden, Denmark, Poland and Lithuania. On this meeting we had an opportunity to share our most interesting results, such as landscape valuation questionnaires, spatial plans, and the handbook about participative planning methods. During the study trip the second day we walked&talked extensively through the Swedish pilot area shared between Lund and Sjöbo municipalities, and were honoured to take part in the opening ceremony of the new nature reserve, Veberöds Ljung. Invitation and Agenda for download. |
