Hope to gain an understanding of how GIS can aid in guiding policy and action in relation to land use with a view to enabling nature recovery (working in an urban setting currently). Have recently seen a carbon sequestration and biodiversity combined GIS mapping exercise by Warwick County council and quite interested in this work.

Working for the local authority in local environment; tasked with forming policy and delivering projects around biodiversity improvements. hoping to gain some practical GIS skills to use everyday, but also to figure out how to do modelling to better inform decisions on where and how to site biodiversity areas across the county.

I am working the the EA and work on planning applications to make sure they are environmentally compliant. I also work on flood alleviation schemes and river and habitat restoration projects.

I hope to add to my knowledge of GIS, which I have previous experience of using at university and seeing what more it can do. I would like to be able to understand how UK habs and BNG maps are produced, as I see them daily but don't understand how they made, so it would ass to my knowledge.

I am working for the local city council in the tiny Natural Environment Team with hardly any GIS skills. We need to develop GIS use, especially for communication with other teams, for recording data and management actions.

I work for the Environment Agency in Biodiversity, where I advise on National Infrastructure Projects. I'd like to learn more about GIS and it's analytical tools, which would enable me to capture or analyse environmental and ecological data from freshwater habitats. I'd also like to learn if I can use GIS to analyse BNG data.

I've worked for Natural England for 3 years in the protected sites team in Sussex and Kent. I'm mostly carrying out condition assessments in SSSI's in Sussex. Really looking forward to developing GIS skills so I can help apply it in my work and be better equipped to help with planning conservation management :)

I find GIS very helpful in my day-to-day tasks as a Catchment Sensitive Farming Adviser at Natural England. I am particularly interested in learning techniques for applying GIS for opportunity mapping and monitoring to address any or all of the following: soil erosion, soil health, agricultural run-off, habitat connectivity, air quality, GHG emissions, fluvial geomorphology, under-productive agricultural land, woodland/shelterbelt creation, peatland rewetting, INNS, farm yard infrastructure, SSSI pressures, priority species recovery, priority habitat restoration, Integrated Pest Management, Nutrient management planning, and quantifying natural flood management potential.

This is the NNR I manage - Kingley Vale NNR. It was one of the first set of five to be designated as an NNR in England in 1952. It was championed by none other than Sir Arthur George Tansley, who has a stone and plaque commemorating his many achievements on the top of the site.

Personally I am keen to better utilize GIS in my site management - it has likely got numerous application and would be a powerful tool to be able to use.
