Flood Mitigation through Nature-Based Solutions
Speaker- Lorne Thomson, Yeovil Rivers Community Trust
Join us for an informative and practical presentation exploring how Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) can play a vital role in reducing flood risk while delivering wider environmental and community benefits.
The session will:
• Introduce Nature-Based Solutions in clear, accessible terms
• Focus on practical interventions that help slow, store and manage water
• Share a successful Dorset model that empowers local communities to decide what interventions are needed and where they should be located
• Explore how this approach could be adapted by the Three Villages Flood Group to support flood resilience in our area
This community-led approach not only helps reduce flood risk but also delivers wider benefits for biodiversity, landscape, soil health and climate resilience.
The event will be of interest to residents, landowners, farmers, parish councillors and anyone concerned about flooding and the future management of our local environment.
All welcome.
