Woodland

Our woodlands are a key tool in the box when addressing climate change for their carbon storage potential, but are less well known for their potential to limit flooding events, with wet woodlands providing a great service in slowing the flow of water downstream after extreme rain events.

Three BIG reasons why woodlands are so important

Matt Huggins explores why our woodlands are an important part of our landscape, looking at how they give back to nature and to us. As our woodlands are under threat, it's more important than ever to preserve what's left and fight to keep them alive. Will you join us in saving our woodlands?

Wetlands-ORIG

Healthy wetlands store carbon and slow the flow of water, cleaning it naturally and reducing flood risk downstream. They support an abundance of plant life, which in turn provide perfect shelter, nurseries and breeding grounds for wildlife.
