7:00 pm: Lessons from Scotland - protecting wild land and empowering communities through land management7:00 pm: Lessons from Scotland - protecting wild land and empowering communities through land management – This seminar will be led by Mike Daniels, the head of policy and land management of the John Muir Trust (JMT). The JMT is based in Scotland and has purchased a number of key properties which it manages with the aim of conserving and promoting wild land. However, their unique approach is founded within engagement in partnerships with other organisations, addressing policy on issues such as wind farms and land reform, while working closely with communities to ensure that conservation efforts enhance rather than alienate communities. Mike will focus on two developing projects: Langholm Estate in southern Scotland where the community is working on buying this former grouse moor with the aim of managing it for conservation and rewilding. He will also discuss the Yeearnstane project close to Glasgow which involves large urban communities fringing a wild land area. This session will give us some inspiration of what could be done if we owned and controlled land. Lessons from Scotland - protecting wild land and empowering communities through land management |

7:00 pm: Land, Communities and the Ecological Crisis: The impact of mining7:00 pm: Land, Communities and the Ecological Crisis: The impact of mining – This seminar will be led by speakers from the London Mining Network and their partners, including speakers from Yes to Life, No to Mines, War on Want, and the Coal Action Network. We will examine how global mining corporations devastate the environment and the health and well-being of local communities. We will also consider how this relates to the UK. Not only is mining still an issue in this country, for example through fracking, but the UK has effectively exported many of the problems mining brings to other countries. Communities in the global south have to deal with the ecological, health and social consequences of a brutal mining industry, many of these mining corporations being based in the UK.
