West of England LNP

Thanks to everyone who attended our conference last week & to @triodosuk for their sponsorship. We brought together so many people with different interests and expertise around the common goal of channeling more money into nature's recovery. There was a real buzz in the air 🐝

WENP's conference is officially SOLD OUT. We can't wait to welcome 130 stakeholders to @triodosuk next week to tackle the thorny issues & be inspired by the opportunities of using private finance to bring nature back to our region.
