Headwaters are overlooked but hugely important and have significant potential
23 May 2025
A pleasure to speak alongside @fluitans & others at @Freshwaterhabs Headstart Conference yesterday. #Chalkstream headwaters, #ponds & other small waters are a powerhouse of biodiversity but are largely overlooked in policy.
Will Govt's independent water commission change this?

Change to this area during the 1800s drove John Clare into a spiral of despair. What would nature’s poet have made of this…Wildlife Trusts object to new homes plan near Peterborough - BBC News @ProtectRuralPB @JohnClareSoc bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1en…

Valuable think piece on #Peterborough growth - we need a focus on quality not quantity; investment in infrastructure and services needs to match housing growth; and we need to value and protect the nature, landscape and accessible countryside we have managed to hang on to.
