Harlow Biodiversity Partnership
Who is the Harlow Biodiversity
Partnership?
Harlow Biodiversity partnership is an independent group
working to conserve Harlow's biodiversity and facilitated by Harlow
Council. Anyone is welcome to attend the meetings of the group,
either as an individual or as a representative of a community
organisation or local business.
Our aim is to make a positive contribution to the conservation
of our natural world and its biodiversity by sharing information
and ideas. We take part in the Essex Biodiversity Action Plan
process, promote participation in practical nature conservation
projects, and guide Harlow Council policies.
Biodiversity is the variety of all living things; it is part
of our natural Heritage and we need to conserve it now. A
Biodiversity Action Plan is being put together at both National and
Local levels, and the recently published Essex Biodiversity Action
Plan has set targets for the protection of species and habitats in
Harlow.
How can I get involved?
Harlow Biodiversity Partnership hold meetings every two months
at 7.30pm in the Conservation Centre at Parndon Wood Nature
Reserve. Please contact Darren Fazackerley, the Landscape &
Biodiversity Manager, at Parndon Wood on 01279 430005 or email:
wildspace@harlow.gov.uk
We hope that you will be able to come and bring your ideas to
the Forum meeting. Please tell anyone else who you know who may
wish to come along too.
