Annual Lecture: Earth, water, air and fire: how fixing and restoring our rivers is about so much more than water.
In this lecture, Craig Bennett,Chief Executive of The Wildlife Trusts, will explore how a focus on rivers can provide the foundation for sorting out many environmental challenges not normally directly associated with rivers, or water quality. What might this mean across the UK, but particularly in Cambridgeshire?”
