Scotland's Climate Week:
Climate Week aims to raise awareness of climate change and to encourage us all to consider the actions required from all of society in order to achieve net zero.
Natural Devon Site:
Residents and Forth Rivers Trust have come together to form the local flood group to try and look at ways of reducing flood risk to properties in the village. The project has introduced overflow channels, scrapes and leaky dams to try and help slow the flow during flood events whilst boosting habitats for wildlife via the creation of open water habitats, the sowing of wildflower seeds and the installation of living willow leaky dams. The local residents have been involved in developing and delivering this project, helping shape their landscape for nature and their community.
TCV Scotland will join us to talk about the great community their volunteers have been doing in Clackmannanshire as well as their work around flood resilience in the other Hillfoot villages.
Sign up to our learning exchange to visit the site, hear about how it was created and meet others who are interested in creating flood management systems in their local area.
