An exciting partnership between Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and RSA to tackle flooding and boost biodiversity.
GWT are partnering with More Than Insurance to provide Natural Flood Management (NFM) solutions in Gloucester and Cheltenham.
Flooding is one of the greatest challenges facing homes and businesses across the UK. In England alone, more than 5 million properties – one in six – are at risk of flooding, according to the National Assessment of Flood Risk report conducted by The Environment Agency.
The British Ecological Society (BES) has highlighted the devastating effects frequent extreme weather events can have on freshwater ecosystems, and the need for proactive strategies to increase ecosystem resilience by improving the connectivity of habitats.
The first joint-venture of its kind, the new partnership will see RSA invest in nature-based interventions to help limit the impact of flooding on local habitats and improve the resilience of local communities. The work will be good for people and good for wildlife, reducing flood risk and boosting biodiversity.
The programme will showcase ways to address flooding triggers in Gloucester and Cheltenham at source, using a wide range of methods. Driveway de-paving, rain gardens, the installation of green verges and building of attenuation ponds to capture rain water to reduce peak flows will all form part of the work.
We’ll also be visiting local schools and communities, providing advice on natural solutions to flood risk and habitat creation to thousands of local residents and businesses.
