Dive Deeper – Thursday 13 March
Join us for our first 'Dive Deeper' of 2025, on Thursday 13th March from 6:30pm. During this evening of exciting talks we will meet Hannah Dale Director and Founder of Wild Wrendale / Wrendale Designs who tells us the story of bringing beavers back to Lincolnshire. Don’t miss the opportunity to grab yourself a signed copy of Hannah’s brand new book ‘A Wilding Year: Bringing life back to the land’.
We then join Clare Collins PhD as we travel through the history of our rivers, how they have been extensively modified by humans and are amongst the most threatened ecosystem.
Finally we meet Laura Welton, Native Oyster Restoration Officer at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust who will take us on a journey to restoring native oysters back in the Humber.
So sit back and enjoy a relaxed evening of informative talks from our fantastic guest speakers:
Hannah Dale, Wild Wrendale / Wrendale Designs - Wetter and wilder – bringing beavers back to Lincolnshire
Jack and Hannah Dale embarked on an ambitious plan to return 300 acres of unproductive farmland to nature five years ago. Hannah will talk about their journey, the ups and downs they have experienced and some of the incredible results they are already seeing.
Clare Collins, PhD researcher at the University of Hull - River rewilding and the freshwater biodiversity crisis.
Over a long history our rivers have been extensively modified by humans and are amongst the most threatened ecosystem. This talk will explore the state of our rivers, work going on in this space including a discussion on river rewilding and the importance of long-term biodiversity monitoring. It will discuss work going on in the UK’s largest and highly modified rivers, the River Severn, to try to reconnect this river to improve the status of our diadromous (migratory) fish species such as shad (Alosa sp.) and sturgeon (Acipenser sp.). Researchers at the University of Hull’s International Fisheries Institute have been monitoring fish in this river alongside many of our local rivers and this talk will discuss some of the ongoing work in this space.
