I think yes significant anthropogenic constraints, but an amazing job in restoring natural processes and increasing resilience compared to what was there before.

Flying up through the National Trust Holnicote Stage 0 river restoration site last week. Fantastic to see how much water is being held in the reconnected floodplain despite the recent drought conditions!

Human, or Nature-led? A Spectrum of Nature-based Solutions

In the face of a global climate and biodiversity crisis, alongside intensifying natural hazards, there is growing interest in solutions that work with…

This PhD will address research gaps in quantifying how much peatland restoration can benefit NFM efforts in moorland.

Flooding is the most common natural disaster, impacting billions. Natural Flood Management (NFM), a nature-based solution opposed to traditional ‘grey’ engineering, offer catchment-level solutions by using natural processes to slow and store water through a series of diffused interventions.

A landmark moment for beavers in England! 🚨 To unlock their benefits, we now need widespread population expansion - it’s time to normalise this native species. We’re reviewing today’s announcement against key tests we set out in our initial response earlier today 👇 t.co/dHU4806zrM

The 3rd and final #beaver site surveyed in the River Otter catchment this week. Upstream of the village of East Budleigh, our monitoring has shown this wetland to significantly reduce downstream peak flows. @exeter.ac.uk
