This was a great event. Capturing the wonders of peatland on film.

2/2 This was a previously unknown population of the native species at Burley and the discovery is great news! The find is despite an extensive population of the invasive signal crayfish across the Wharfe catchment, which puts the native species at risk through disease.

1/2 We’ve rescued a population of native white clawed crayfish in Wharfedale after drought conditions left them stranded. They’ve been moved to a safe quarantine and after a health check they will be returned to rivers to support crayfish conservation in #Yorkshire.

2/2 Our presenter is PHD candidate Elitsa Penkova, University of Exeter. Her research builds upon work on coastal waters which found that recreational activities such as bathing are associated with an increased risk of exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Message to join.

1/2 What are the public health risks from exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria in rivers? This is the topic of our next lunchtime webinar in the series funded by @NERCscience & @DefraGovUK on Monday 21 July at 12 noon.

My new Directory of Property #Flood Resilience #PFR Products and Measures is now in the design process. I hope to launch it later this month. Watch out for it, it'll be a useful resource!

Our Farm Advice Team are out testing soil for aeration potential - aiming to boost flood & drought resilience. Using tools like moisture meters & compaction tests, they can offer tailored land management advice. Want to know more? Email: [email protected]
