Taking care of our Wetlands and Rivers using Nature Based Solutions

As our climate warms, Surrey's rivers are beginning to feel the pressure. 2022 saw a year of extremes with the dry weather causing many of our headwater streams to dry up, placing increasing stress on wetland biodiversity. Nature Based Solutions can not only help us to adapt to climate change but can also help to address the biodiversity crisis. Nature Based Solutions now form the foundation of much of Surrey Wildlife Trust's work. This talk will look into how they can help to clean up our rivers, protect us from flooding and drought, sequester carbon  and make our rivers and wetlands work for both people and wildlife.
