Was a joy to be involved in this event over the weekend, to meet and run with so many lovely people, all passionate about rivers, and wildlife in Stoke, at the head of the River Trent and talk about our plans for the #TrentValleyWay
Trent Rivers Trust@Trent_R_Trust

What a fantastic weekend in Stoke on Trent! Carrying the @Climate_Relay baton alongside locals, we've been talking about the state of our rivers, why community can help you feel more empowered & our plans to help people connect to their local river - in Stoke and beyond. 🏃‍♂️👇

This Wednesday 19th July, I’m helping with a CIWEM webinar, which will look at the challenges of delivering nature based solutions to address flood risk in urban areas, and so much more! From an eNGO, Unitary and County LLFA perspective. Please join us ciwem.org/events/the-rea…

@Blacky_Himself @DunscombeMark Ah, I would've guessed the River Rea in Birmingham. It looks very similar to this in the city. Almost entirely culverted and hidden.

Fencing is one of our main tools for Restoring Rivers @WelshDeeTrust. But how exactly does fencing a river improve its health? and benefit its wildlife? 🐟🪲🦦 A little thread 🧵

On #WorldEnvironmentDay2023 we need people to know that physical modification remains the biggest cause of failure of river ecosystems. therrc.co.uk/river-restorat… Rivers should not be straightened & dredged canals, but complex threads of life supporting a resilient environment.

Interesting video from the US about infiltration rates and the relationship with production, and the difference good land management can make #SoilHealth
Niels Corfield@niels_corfield

For those concerned about to much rain currently, what if that was just music to your ears? Infiltration rates: AMP grazing 1" = 10.1 secs Set stocking 1" = 420 secs (7 mins) Which one produces the most forage and carries stock best in winter?🤔 m.youtube.com/watch?t=124&v=…

As such significant landowners, the crown estate really needs to lead by example on how to incorporate nature based solution to help mitigate for climate change, balanced with growing food to eat
Alastair Driver@AliDriverUK

Many thanks @TheCrownEstate for the kind invitation to the grand reception today. Surprised to discover that despite owning circa 8000 km2 of land they don’t have any board members with land management and nature expertise. For obvious reasons I suggested that is remedied asap.

Good chance to talk about how we work with farmers, they are the custodians of our landscape, we all have a part to play in restoring our rivers
Trent Rivers Trust@Trent_R_Trust

We've recently spoken to @wickedleeksmag about the importance of working collaboratively with 🧑‍🌾 to boost river health. This is something that we've been doing for many years in the @MeaseRiver as part of the @CaBAtweets approach. 👇 wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/features/whats…

@GeorgeMonbiot is bang on the money here. Transferring water from Wales to the South East is a terrible idea. Water companies must focus on reducing demand for water before abstracting more from the environment. tinyurl.com/4c86r6f6

Finally proper acknowledgement that we have not invested in our water infrastructure adequately for decades, with rather pro water industry regulation from Ofwat, further hindered by massive cuts to the EA monitoring budgets theguardian.com/environment/20…
