A Chalk Spring 8th wonder of the world ?

We are VERY proud to see Stroud District Council projects held up as exemplar schemes for tackling climate change. There are SO MANY other good ideas in here. buff.ly/3I4EQts (via Friends of the Earth) If you had to pick on, which one should we try to make happen next?

8 years after meeting this Frome Beech, it has started a new phase of life. This is slow flood risk management.

We have just started collaborating with Stroud District Council, Chris Uttley & WWT Slimbridge to assess the benefits of nature-based solutions in the Stroud Valleys to reduce #floodrisk, increase #groundwater recharge & deliver multiple other environmental benefits #NFM

Great to be joined by Ali from The Wildlife Trusts to talk about the #naturalfloodmanagment work of @SussexFlow Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔 @WoodlandTrust Lewes District Council Environment Agency

Nature-based solutions for adaptation can be 2-5x more cost-effective than “gray” infrastructure such as dams and seawalls. By working with nature, not against it, infrastructure projects could save billions per year—and result in greater social benefits and avoided losses.

Bringing springs and a stream that were culverted decades ago back to the surface to create 200m of “new” stream

NFM by electric bike. The 500mile milestone achieved whilst creating new stream and flush habitats!

Decommissioning drains is extremely satisfying

Some lovely wetter habitat pockets in previously drained fields.
