Valuing the Uplands Workshop

 
Valuing the Uplands
On the 16th and 17th May the Centre hosted a seminar to  discuss different approaches to 'Valuing the Uplands'. The seminar aimed to be of interest to academics and practitioners alike and to examine the environmental, cultural and commercial value of the uplands, from different perspectives. The seminar also aimed to help influence the way in which public programmes are appraised and evaluated in future. This seminar was part of a series being coordinated by the University of Sussex and funded by ESRC.
