YHREF - Regional Environment Forum

Liverpool train expected, Sheffield station

Welcome to the website of the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Environment Forum; a unique partnership providing independent expertise to represent shared environmental concerns in Yorkshire and the Humber.

On our site you will find news and events, as well as details of projects, areas of research, current consultations, analysis, comment
and guidance. You can also sign up to our popular monthly newsletter which has been described as “quite short” and “sometimes useful”.

YHREF are keen to promote good practice and innovation in the region as well as to provide a home for discussion, debate and the occasional BIG IDEA. So please get in touch if you have anything that would benefit from being published as part of our online journal of good stuff, done well, often in tricky circumstances.
