Description

My guests on this episode are Ian Russell and Jamie Kukadia from the watercourses team at London Borough of Enfield. We discuss:

• 'Rewilding Enfield' - rewilding urban streets, parks and rivers.
• Nature-based flood resilience and sustainable drainage versus traditional engineering.
• Reintroducing beavers to London.
• The benefits of conservation livestock grazing in parks and green belt.
• Advice for others who want to take an urban rewilding approach.
