Heritage webinar to highlight Manx buildings

Thursday, 27 January 2022 08:09

A webinar on the Island's built heritage is taking place next month, hosted by UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man.

Mann Made: Built Heritage and a Sustainable Future will be part of a series to mark the 50th anniversary of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme.

Clare Barber, Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture, says it's easy to scurry past buildings we see daily and take them for granted, but the Island's built heritage is rich, diverse and unique.

Led by building experts, the webinar takes place between 1-2:30pm on Wednesday February 9, and is free to attend.
