The TWIC Conference will be held online for the first time this year. Join us for a series of talks exploring how climate change is impacting our biodiversity in SE/central Scotland and the ways in which we can adapt/ mitigate those effects using nature-based solutions - and informed by biodiversity data.

This event will be hosted on Zoom and we will send out joining instructions the day before the event.
