LIFEscape final conference 

Lund, 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.

Workshops on Landscape Analysis

The planners are now working on the material from the workshops and will present a proposal of the Landscape Analysis to the stakeholders in May 2013. The results from the meeting will be taken into the analys and then presented as a final document in August 2013. The Analysis will be an important document in the planning process in the pilot area and be included in the regional landscape strategy of the Skåne region.
