The Nature and Us project area covers a 15-mile section of the River Severn catchment, incorporating some 17,240 acres of members’ land and NRW forestry stretching from Dolfor in the east to Clywedog in the west.
The challenges are multiple and interwoven…the solutions are complex but much can be achieved through our landscape-scale plan to use the sustainable management of natural resources effectively.
The main opportunity for our collaboration is to reduce the effects of climate change such as soil erosion by water and wind. We also need to reverse the declining health of ecosystems that leads to loss of biodiversity.
On a socio-economic front, our project includes tackling threats such as the effect of farming income post-Brexit and health issues like deprivation, obesity and stress of lifestyles that can lead to both physical and mental illness.
