Agenda item

The Committee received a report which described a proposal for hosting a two-day conference in association with Ancient Tree Forum (ATF) on biodiversity and conservation of veteran trees.

During the discussion, the following points were noted:

a)    The Committee considered whether there were opportunities for income generation. Officers explained they were looking at sponsorship of the event once the venue was confirmed.

b)    Members suggested reaching out to the Royal Household through the Remembrancer’s Office as it may be a matter of interest to His Majesty The King.

RESOLVED – That, Members agreed to Officers from Burnham Beeches and City Commons working with the ATF to host a conference at Burnham Beeches on the biodiversity and conservation of veteran trees on a cost neutral basis.
