The lotus plant carries so much symbolism across many religions and beliefs. I happen to like the Buddhist one of rising out of the muck and opening to the sun.

A new wetland is being created by Wessex Water to help deal with sewage runoff at one of its pumping stations. The station had discharged waste for 37 days last year. Hopefully the wetland will stop that runoff entering the river network whilst also providing habitat.

There is backing in the local council for the creation of a wetland in the middle of Hereford. Not only would this be hugely beneficial to wildlife (and, therefore, all the associated benefits to human health) it would also help to control flooding.

Near the Herefordshire village of Bodenham, hundreds of miles of hedgerow have been planted at a nature reserve. The same site has already seen a network of pools dug to help create wetland habitat.

Wetland habitats on the Coleshill estate are to be restored. The new site will be 1.4 hectares in size.

Happy belate #SpagnumMonday! Adam Koks, working at B-WARE research centre, keeps a Sphagnum collection @Radboud_uni . He uses it to explore the nature of peatmoss growth and get inspiration for restoration projects. So cool to have a moss collection 'at home'. Perfect material to practice my identification skills.

This Yorkshire stream which was straightened in the 18th c has now been 're-wiggled'. That slows the water speed, which makes for healthier land, better environments for wildlife and less erosion.

“In line with previous findings, our results imply that #wetland #methane #emissions are sensitive to a warmer and wetter #climate and could act as a positive #feedback mechanism in the future. Our study also suggests that nitrogen oxide emission trends need to be taken into account when implementing the global anthropogenic methane emissions reduction pledge.”

It's #wetland Wednesday, folks!
I"m a former educator that works on freelance humanitarian projects. One of them coming Autumn 2023 is building a wetland in #Spain, near the #Portuguese border. Hoping ro recoup fresh water for #biodiversity and the community. More info at a later date.
