Are you a Wokingham resident? Have you thought about planting trees to help the environment? Opportunity to take part in @WokinghamBC Garden Forest Scheme, planting right tree in right place.

Great #tree planting scheme for people in #Wokingham to take action on #climateemergency and improve their own garden and local environment. Can help with flooding, heatwaves and biodiversity too. 👏👏@WokinghamBC 1/2

What happens when there is dissonance in understanding an increasing & systemic risk like flooding? In our paper we address this, seeking to understand it in more detail & set out ways of negotiating the problem https://t.co/bFLXaLOHu1

When secondary stressors become primary https://t.co/3jc2Ti65F5 Once the 1st wave of flood water has past there's a tsunami of secondary stressors to face. These can readily impact your quality of life FRM needs to understand & address the human impacts of flooding @NatFloodForum

Can a #NFM leaky barrier project in the #PangValley help prevent future #flooding?

Our new video showcases the work of @PangValleyFlood, @LandwiseNFM, @UniofReading, @NERC_NFM, @EnglefieldUK, @Forest_Research.

Barriers such as weirs are a big problem for eel migration. Take a look at this map, each red dot is a barrier to eels. There are around 20,000 barriers on the Thames and its tributaries! More information on how to help the #ThamesEels on our website
