A conference organised by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority is being held in London later this month to look at the way the landscape is shaped by humans.

The day-long event – National Parks and the Historic Environment 1949-2069: The Past and the Future – is being held on Friday, November 13, at the Society of Antiquaries.

Speakers include Baroness Andrews, chairman of English Heritage, former director general of the Countryside Commission Professor Adrian Phillips, who is now a vice-president of the British Association of Nature Conservationists and the Council for National Parks and Dave Batchelor, head of local authority historic environment liaison at English Heritage.
