SUMMARY:Community Climate Resilience Drop-in
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to help create local solutions to the impacts of climate change? \nJoin us for a drop in session to learn more about the Upstream Thinking RRC project and how it can help your community be more climate resilient. \nRapidly Responding Catchments\, or RRCs\, are quick draining catchment areas (under 10km²) where surface run-off during high rainfall events can overwhelm small communities. We have identified Walkhampton and Whitchurch as RRCs and would like to work with you to build your community’s climate resilience by co-creating innovative approaches such as Nature Based Solutions (NBS). \nThis work comes under the Devon Resilience Innovation Project (DRIP) and is associated with the Dartmoor Headwaters Natural Flood Management Project. \nIf you can’t make this one\, there will be other sessions held on the 13th January in Walkhampton Memorial Hall and on the 26th January at St. Andrew’s Church Hall.

SUMMARY:Water for Growth Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day of presentations\, posters and networking opportunities to mark the culmination of the 5-year ‘Water for Growth’ project. The Westcountry Rivers Trust will be hosting a conference exploring the many benefits that blue space experiences provide\, alongside discussing how we can utilise and protect our rivers by increasing responsible\, safe access and citizen science initiatives. \nThe ‘Water for Growth’ project has focused on improving local rivers and their associated fauna and flora\, as a means of boosting Cornwall’s ‘Natural Capital’. In addition to creating fish passes\, removing weirs\, completing habitat works and mobile app developments\, the project also encourages and facilitates the sustainable exploitation of river habitats\, in the form of game angling. \nThe event will feature talks by representatives of the Westcountry Rivers Trust\, Axe Vale Rivers Association\, Economics for the Environment\, Slowways\, Tamara Landscape Partnership\, Chardstock Eco Group\, Plymouth University…and more. \nSpeakers will discuss how the development of different skills and technology could bring greater engagement and research into the success of projects like ‘Water for Growth’\, that have health\, community\, environmental and socioeconomic benefits. \nYour free event ticket will include lunch and refreshments. \nFollow this link to reserve a spot at the conference https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/water-for-growth-conference-tickets-493616479177 \n—- \nWater for Growth is a project funded by the European Regional Development Fund\, HM Government and lead by WRT in partnership with the Environment Agency\, Natural England and South West Water.

SUMMARY:DiadESland: the serious game of the DiadES project
DESCRIPTION:Westcountry Rivers Trust representatives will be attending this interactive session aimed at sparking ideas on how to conserve diadromous fish populations\, come along and play! \nDiadES is aimed at assessing and enhancing the ecosystem services (benefits to humans) provided by diadromous fish species (those that migrate from salt to fresh water) and develop policy recommendations in a climate change context. The project relies on an interdisciplinary partnership from five countries (i.e. Ireland\, U.K.\, France\, Spain and Portugal). \nOne of the main outputs of the project is a serious game called “DiadESland”. This innovative tool is a learning experience and helps foster discussions on managing diadromous species on the long term and large scale\, including the effect of global change on the fish populations. You do not need to be an expert to play\, this game is aimed at all policy or decision makers\, environmental\, fishers or sellers\, and conservation type stakeholders. \nThrough playing the DiadESland game\, the goal is to ignite open discussions about the management of diadromous species taking account dependencies between territories and the long term effects of climate change. This is an opportunity to discuss emerging possible strategies and management recommendations with likeminded colleagues. This is a dynamic and fun environment to discuss serious issues around a table. It is also an opportunity to learn new skills\, particularly in the serious game approach. It will also be an excellent networking opportunity with your wider colleagues and stakeholders. \nThe University of Plymouth\, The Rivers Trust and Cefas would like to invite you to meet to play DiadESland in Plymouth\, U.K. on Friday 13th January 2023. This will be a fully catered event and the University of Plymouth are delighted to be able to cover your accommodation and travel expenses. \nLearn more and secure your spot here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/diadesland-the-serious-game-of-the-diades-project-tickets-479067984237

SUMMARY:'Food for Thought' Film Screenings
DESCRIPTION:Should we all be giving up meat and dairy if we’re to have a hope of avoiding dangerous climate breakdown? \nThis is what the headlines seem to tell us. But is this too simplistic a picture – and what would this mean for Cornwall\, where the majority of our farmland is used to raise livestock or to grow crops for these animals to eat? \nFood for Thought looks at the undeniable impacts of modern animal agriculture as well as some of the incredible Cornish initiatives underway to mitigate them – and also the role that regenerative farming could play in actually combating climate change while producing nutritious food. \nPresented by organic beef farmer Lisa Guy\, this film aims to inspire much-needed conversation and action about a crucial subject that has become one of the most contentious within the climate debate. \n  \nThe screenings will be happening across Cornwall in January: \n8th January 8pm – Calstock Arts (tickets on the door) \n12th January 6pm – St Ives Art Club (tickets on the door or available online https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/487523404627) \n14th January 5pm – Truro Plaza Cinema (tickets available online https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/487548519747) \n22nd January 7pm – Maker-with-Rame Community Hall\, Kingsland (tickets on the door or available online https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/483829726737) \n26th January – Wadebridge Town Hall (free evening screening) \n  \nCheck out the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeHWhuI8ng8 \n
