Monday 17 January 2022 (Indoor Meeting): 'West Midlands National Park'. Speaker: Kathryn Moore, Professor of Landscape architecture, Birmingham City University, and Director of the WMNP project. 'The Project seeks to establish a new kind of National Park for the West Midlands. This immense rolling landscape, the crucible of the industrial revolution, the nexus of the UK’s major agricultural regions, with its complex infrastructure of canals, highways and byways married to some of the most beautiful, forgotten areas in Britain awaits a re-imagining for millions of people with the creation of a West Midland National Park'.
