Managing Sports Events for Nature

Sports events of all kinds interact with nature – whether they take place in wild landscapes, local green spaces, or indoor venues whose materials and surroundings still connect them to the natural world. While these settings help define the character of sport, events can unintentionally harm wildlife and habitats when nature isn’t considered from the start.

This new guide provides a clear and practical introduction to managing sports events with nature in mind. It is designed especially for organisers and venue managers who may lack specialist ecological expertise but still want to reduce risks, avoid negative impacts, and create positive outcomes for biodiversity.

Whether you’re preparing a small community event or coordinating a larger competition, this resource offers straightforward steps to help you understand your event’s interaction with the natural environment and make responsible, informed decisions.
