Although it’s a shame to see many fallen trees from the recent storms, a few will now have a great new purpose! This tree at one of my Natural Flood Management sites has fallen perfectly to become a natural leaky barrier and will provide new habitats and flood benefits 😃 #nfm

We want to reflect our changing world, which is why things are looking a little different around here.

We are WWT. For wetlands. For life.

@jamesthetyke Cheers James!

What a fantastic time at the Conservation Evidence Research Day!! So great to hear what everyone is working on and informing other folk about the amazing projects we do 😀 #WWTResearch

Researcher @MTaylorResearch presents his latest results of the use of woody dams in natural flood management. His work shows that woody dams slow the flow of water & mitigate the effects of flooding. #WWTResearch 1/2

Wow! Such a great day show casing all our fabulous #WWTResearch! From Eels, Functionally Linked Land, woody dams, curlew, godwits, #wetland heath & wellbeing, water quality, eDNA - it's been quite a day 💫 1/2

Fantastic to celebrate the completion of our Severn Vale Waterscapes enhancements for migratory fish project with the opening of this multispecies fish pass at Fromebridge Mill with partners @severnrivers @FWAGSouthWest and @SVPcharity 🍾🥳🎉 ...

#Wetlands are our most valuable ecosystem with critical services for #biodiversity, health, water security and climate adaptation.

But we are losing wetlands 3⃣ times faster than forests. We must accelerate actions for the conservation & #restoration of them.

What a shocking sentence.

An absolute disgrace this is allowed to happen, especially during a year with exceptional drought conditions. Where are the organisations that are supposed to hold these companies to account? ⁦@DefraGovUK⁩ ⁦@EnvAgency⁩ ⁦@theresecoffey⁩ https://t.co/OQaqHDZVq4

Healthy wetlands are vital for life on earth 🌍

This #WorldWetlandsDay, we're raising awareness of these super-habitats with a thriving 3D wetlands in central Bristol! How many wetland species can you spot?💧🌱
