Ecosystem Services Come to Town

For 40 conference delegates, a morning walking tour will visit prominent buildings in the City of London to show how commercial green roofs are being installed by forward-thinking investors.

Including 201 Bishopsgate, Eversheds and The Museum of London's 4,200 sq. m. planned biodiverse green roofs

Led by the UK's foremost green roof experts Dusty Gedge and Gary Grant, who have also been involved in the designs of the roofs, the tour will give first-hand insight into the design, construction and benefits of green roofs for future proofing our towns and cities.

The tour is limited to 40 places so early booking is advised.

The Museum of London in the heart of the City is the ideal host for this event. As part of its own extensive refurbishment with Russell Trew and Bauder, the MoL is retrofitting a wide variety of biodiverse living roofs - over 4,000 sq metres of new green space.

This innovative scheme with over 4,000 sq.m. of green roofs will also provide the basis for detailed living roofs and walls research into the future.
