17 July 2012: Year 3 Conference: Reporting back: examining the catchment baseline data
Around 80 members of the Wensum Alliance attended the year 3 conference to hear about the progress that has been made in the past year. The level of buzz and the number of questions arising over coffee, lunch and tea showed real interest and enthusiasm for the research and we were pleased that the audience this year included a larger number of people from the farming community. So, the hard work that went into the presentations, posters and project summaries were all well worth the effort. Click on the titles below to access each of the speaker’s presentations.
