Yet more land managers recognising the need to tackle climate change and consider change and uncertainty to restore floodplain functionality and improve community flood resilience. A long journey ahead but very exciting!

The magic thing about a few sunny days in a row, is knowing that the night sky will be wondrous ✨

Here's to another year of river adventures and wild walks, and the continued restoration and enhancement of nature so these experiences can be shared by all both now, and in the future!

So very hopeful when I see the amazing work being undertaken by many on this lovely site for climate and nature ❤️

Wind blown sand built up on the southern end of Instow beach with a cliff cut by the high tide. Lovely beach dynamics following #StormDarragh!

We need more woodlands to sequester carbon, slow flood flows, improve water quality and enhance biodiversity. And there's never been a better time to plant woodland! 👇🥳

Disconnected floodplain meadow in Cornwall waiting patiently to be restored ⏳. Beyond excited to see what becomes of this site once water steadily and continuously flows across it once again 🐛🦋🦎🦆🦇

Amazing managed realignment site on the Tamar Estuary overseen by a colleague in my team. A climate resilient flood risk management project bursting with bird life!! 🦆🦢🐦 #managedrealignment #floodriskmanagement

The channel continues to meander, eroding and depositing as it goes. Lots of natural processes underway 👏

Hugely impressive river restoration site in Cumbria. Space for otter, badgers and other wildlife galore. Amazing what a little wiggle can do! #riverrestoration
