Join us for our first 'Dive Deeper' of the year, in partnership with Colliderfest 2025!
On Thursday 13th March from 6:30pm we will be hosting our latest instalment of Dive Deeper, an evening of exciting talks. First up we meet Hannah Dale, Director and Founder of Wild Wrendale / Wrendale Designs, who tells us the story of bringing beavers back to Lincolnshire. Plus don’t miss the opportunity to grab yourself a signed copy of Hannah’s new book ‘A Wilding Year: Bringing life back to the land’.
We then join University of Hull PhD Researcher, Clare Collins, 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.
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.
