Webinar: Working with volunteers on private land – How to get started?
“Working with volunteers on private land – How to get started?” is the theme of our first webinar as volunteering and citizen science working group. We will host this two-part event on the 9th and 10th of October 2021 from 9:30 until 13:00 CET. This webinar will address the involvement of volunteers to provide private land conservation. Presentations will focus on past experiences, opportunities, testimonials and lessons learnt.
We hope to start a fruitful conversation between landowners and NGO’s addressing the volunteering topic, and come out with practical solutions.
The webinar is being organised under the LIFE ENPLC project. We strive to advance private land conservation in Europe. Under this shared vision, our project brings together European networks of private landowners and nature conservation organisations to expand private land conservation tools, improve financial incentives, increase awareness, share knowledge, and foster citizen engagement in nature conservation on private land
