SUMMARY:Connecting the Culm forum #8 - Roots to Recovery
DESCRIPTION:This year our focus is on soils and their crucial role in both nature recovery and flood resilience. What can we do to maximise the amount of water soaking into the ground\, rather than running over the surface and adding to flood risk? Two Devon farmers join us to talk nature\, soils\, water and business! \n\nAndy Gray\, a pioneering farmer from the Crediton area\, talks about trees on farms and growing better soil.\nLucy Jefferson\, CtC Senior Catchment Officer\, talks about the interventions we have been making on one of the Culm farms.\nDominic Acland talks about the Devon Local Nature Recovery Strategy\, how it can help guide actions and how soils played a key part in its development.\n\nWe’ll follow the speakers with an open forum with Q&A\, discussion\, and networking. Free refreshments. \nClick here to book your place
