Have you visited one of the Flagship wetland restoration sites recently? The Nenescape @FftFproject project, led by the @wildlifebcn is seeking feedback from visitors about the new interpretation featured at two locations in the Nene Valley - Ferry Meadows and Upton Park.
We're teaming up with Mee Blueberries to offer a wonderful #farmwalk as part of the Nene Valley Festival! 🦋🌼 Join us: bit.ly/3ztfjqw

Fencing work along this stretch of the River Nene @NeneParkPboro is to protect the watercourse from pollution & erosion. Vegetation along the bank helps stabilise soil & filter run-off. Some poaching on open grassland provides vital bird habitat, e.g. Heron Meadow, Ferry Meadows

This is good news that all farmers in England will get catchment sensitive farming advice instead of the postcode lottery that currently happens. Hopefully the grant funding will be available for all farmers also so everyone can make a difference. – at East, England
Farmers have an important role to play in ensuring our watercourses are protected from pollution.
An extra £17m of funding means all farmers in England can benefit from our Catchment Sensitive Farming partnership to get advice on protecting water quality: gov.uk/government/news/fundi…
