We're at stand P73 (Hall 6) @SolarStorageUK talking about solar, nature, and everything ecology & biodiversity on solar farms!

Come talk to us between today and Thursday.

BNG, habitat creation, wildlife, soils...

Check our team's latest blog at The Applied Ecologist on how solar farms can deliver for #nature as much as for the #climate, following on from our Policy paper @JAppliedEcology. https://t.co/f23bURI2HY

Another opportunity to embed solar farms in biodiversity-related decision making and policies.

Government launches rapid review to meet Environment Act targets https://t.co/AcQfAQSYfE

[Lancaster University @LancasterUni]

Nature can thrive on solar farms if managed well.

And there is a chance to make this happen across the UK, providing the Government joins up its climate and biodiversity policies, says a new paper led and co-authored by researchers at Lancaster 👇

[Journal of Applied Ecology @JAppliedEcology]

Solar farms can deliver for climate and nature if well-managed, and if suitable policies that integrate climate and biodiversity targets are in place to deliver green energy alongside nature recovery 🌱

See the Policy Direction paper here: https://t.co/lfl0Wk71SR

[Energy Environment Interactions @Energy_Environ]

Our Policy Direction is now out @JAppliedEcology.

Our take on how public policies can support solar farms deliver climate and ecological benefits to make the low-carbon energy transition work for people and the planet.
