The mission of the European Heathland
Workshops will be:
| 1. |
To provide a means
by which expertise on heathland ecology, conservation and management
can be brought together and made available when required to decision-makers,
such as those in the European Union, in National and Local Governments,
in planning bodies and in conservation organisations. |
| |
| 2. |
To promote the collaborative
study of heathland ecology, of past and present land uses and of types
of heathland management and to provide a scientific basis for conservation
and future use. The Workshops will identify gaps in existing knowledge
and to promote action to fill them, including where appropriate the
development of interaction with other similar groups such as those
concerned with peatlands, coastal systems and pastoralism. |
| |
| 3. |
To support, when requested,
suitable applications to funding agencies. |
