Absolutely thrilled with this result for our local community and nature! We can all really make a massive difference and be the change we want.

[East Keswick Wildlife Trust @ekWildlife]

We're delighted to report a hugely successful fundraising campaign in less than 3 weeks! We acquired 24 acres of land in the centre of the Bardsey, running from the school down to the beck and beyond. We were unsuccessful with the second land parcel. Thanks for all for your help!

[Emma Wren @EmmaWren77]

Proud Tawny Owl moment. This is my Brownie Pack and they absolutely love getting out in our local nature reserves, exploring and den building! Help create somewhere for more children to play please! Just today left to hit our fundraising target!

[East Keswick Wildlife Trust @ekWildlife]

We want to create amazing places to inspire local people and join up habitats for wildlife. Everyone is welcome - East Keswick and Bardsey Brownies loved exploring the Ellikers. Next time Bardsey Fields? We hope so! Donate at https://t.co/zvoy5u96Cp or https://t.co/uVQ3gCT0Nt

Interesting article on how addressing the differences in culture across the public, private and NGO space is key to maximising the potential of catchment thinking.

[Emma Wren @EmmaWren77]

Here I am explaining our vision for this land in the heart of our community. I would love to get the chance to work out the detail and work with the entire community to do something brilliant! Would love your support - please share!

Great to hear. Well done to everyone involved and let's have more people smiling at our work to improve flood resilience!

[Jonathan Moxon @JonathanPMoxon]

The words of these Otley residents are so powerful, like all those we talk to that have experienced flooding first hand, they can say how it really feels so much better than we ever could.

[East Keswick Wildlife Trust @ekWildlife]

Learn about Bardsey Fields rich diversity in this fantastic short film - safeguarding a place for nature in the heart of Bardsey would create something really unique for people to enjoy and nature to flourish

@clare_pinches @ekWildlife @BSBIscience Have you been down recently Clare? Some amazing fungi on display!

[Emma Wren @EmmaWren77]

I recently became a trustee of this fantastic village-based organisation. They are an inspirational bunch - and I am now custodian of 5 awesome nature reserves all within a mile of my house!

[East Keswick Wildlife Trust @ekWildlife]

Have you been down to the woods today? You never know what you might find? There are lots of fantastic places to explore around and about!

[Emma Wren @EmmaWren77]

@GeoHazards @MottMacDonald @LitterFreeLeeds Great work #mottmacleeds!

[Emma Wren @EmmaWren77]

Great session today with a challenge to everyone in our flood community to do a little bit more in their local community to raise awareness. Small steps lead to great things.

[Flood & Coast @floodandcoast]

To deliver natural flood management #NFM effectively requires an understanding of local context, global drivers and perspectives from around the world - Emma Wren kicking off the panel live at #FloodandCoast2022

@EmmaWren77 @MottMacDonald

[Emma Wren @EmmaWren77]

My vision is that the #NaturalFloodManagement Manual is a springboard that launches NFM to be mainstream across our landscape, being employed consistently and at scale to help us collectively address the nature and climate emergencies. @MottMacDonald @theRRC @iCASP @YorkDalesRT

[CIRIA @CIRIAupdates]

Main aims of #NFM guidance include supporting delivery, providing confidence and maximising outcomes in reduce the risk of flooding from surface water and rivers #naturalfloodmanagement @MottMacDonald
