Natural England’s 2023 State of Nature report told us we are one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Yet there is hope. The report identifies four ‘big on-the-ground changes that we can take to accelerate nature recovery.’ Reducing pollution on land is one of these.
For over 25 years, the East Kent Downs Landscape Recovery Project, a Natural England initiative, has been working with 100 farms across East Kent on habitat creation and nature recovery projects. So far, 992 hectares of wildflower grasslands have been created from arable land and 1,147 hectares of permanent grasslands restored and enhanced. These insect and seed-rich landscapes are maintaining more productive crops, improving soil health, water quality and carbon capture.
Canterbury Climate Action Partnership (ccap.org.uk) invites you to discover this agricultural (r)evolution on our doorstep, meet our farming entrepreneurs and learn skills to improve the biodiversity of our community green spaces.
Talks will last approximately one hour followed by a Q&A.
