A conference is being held to help business in West Yorkshire to understand the potential of the region's green infrastructure.

The conference is being organised by the Countryside Agency and Pennine Prospects and is aimed at urban and rural regeneration companies in the area.

It is designed to make businesses aware of green areas in their locale and how they can link their business developments to them.

David Fanaroff, of the Countryside Agency, said: "We define green infrastructure as a means to providing connected and extensive networks of accessible, multi-purpose, green space to link urban and countryside areas to serve communities in the region."

The conference is being held at the Metropole Hotel in Leeds on Wednesday, March 29 and will feature guest speakers from all over Europe.
