A draft programme for the Eurosite Wilderness workshop is now available to download. The full workshop title is “Living with wilderness in Europe: communication non-intervention management strategies and dealing with public perceptions of of growing populations of large herbivores and carnivores”. It will take place in the Netherlands from 17-19 September 2014.

The workshop will contribute to the elaboration of a communication strategy, and aims to help site managers improve understanding of the wilderness management techniques they employ among the public and local stakeholders.

The workshop will use as a focus the example of non-intervention management techniques in the Oostvaardersplassen, Netherlands. The second day of the workshop will therefore involve a day of field trips to Kraansvlak and the Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve.

The workshop will also include presentations and workshops, and a screening of the film, “The New Wilderness” (TBC).
