On the 17th September we hosted the Nature recovery at The Wildlife Trusts – tackling climate change and biodiversity loss webinar. We heard insights from three Wildlife Trusts (Fit for the Future members) across a range of topics.
- Lizzie Laybourne, Nature Based Solutions Officer at Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust spoke about rewilding and nature-based solutions sites. This included how sites have changed through species diversity, abundance, habitats and soil condition, while protecting nearby infrastructure from climate impacts.
- Cheryl Marriott, Director of Nature and People at Cornwall Wildlife Trust, spoke about the reintroduction of Eurasian Beavers as a way to kick-start nature recovery whilst also making rivers, streams and wetlands more resilient to climate change.
- Lizzie Wheeler, Head of Nature Economy and Business Development at Norfolk Wildlife Services (a Norfolk Wildlife Trust consultancy), spoke about how they are strategically approaching Green Finance.
