ORN Webinar – Looking ahead: What the public are telling us and how do we react?
2nd September 2020
In our role as Secretariat, ORNI facilitated an Outdoor Recreation Network Webinar entitled ‘Looking ahead: What the public are telling us and how do we react?’
The webinar provided a series of case studies exploring research from around the UK and Ireland on how people engaged with the outdoors during and after the COVID-19 lockdown – the benefits they gained, the barriers they faced, and the implications for outdoor recreation stakeholders going forward. The MC was Bel Dixon and insights were provided by Sport Ireland, Sport England, Natural England, 56 Design Insight and Outdoor Recreation Northern Ireland.
This webinar was kindly made available to the entire sector and was attended by over 160 delegates. In addition, the resources are available to the wider industry.
