🌳 💦Hedgerows planted on steep contours & high densities can reduce runoff rates up to 50%, preventing flooding &improving the water quality of our rivers & streams. This is by improving hydrological soil processes: increasing percolation, filtration & evapotranspiration 🌳 💦

Join us on March 12 for our next Linnean Lens talk with Roger Gaskell. We will be discussing the use of woodcuts for botanical illustration from the 15th to 17th century, and also take a look at the skills of the block-cutters. Join us and share!
