Environment and Natural Resources Topic Group

The Environment and Natural Resources Topic Group brings together people who have a keen interest in the West Midlands regional environment, the pressures on it and process of change, and on the type, quantity, consumption, quality, indicators and conservation of natural resources. The environment includes the natural and built environment.
