SXNCH is a free, two-day, online symposium for knowledge exchange and networking on the conservation, management, and prospects of heritage sites at the intersection of nature and culture. It aims to bring together interest groups from heritage sites facing a similar set of challenges and build a network to find synergistic approaches and improve resilience. Sing-up is free: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sxnch-knowledge-exchange-at-the-intersect...
