Talk: Balancing Lakes and Wetlands in a water-wise city
Find out more about the wetland arc and the fascinating flood defence systems that can be found in Milton Keynes at this insightful talk.
Have you ever wondered why Milton Keynes experiences very little residential flooding compared to other parts of the UK, despite the prevalence of waterways across the city? With more than 300 ponds, large lakes, two rivers and a canal, there is plenty of water to be found within the city boundaries!
At this insightful talk, you will find out about the intricate system of wetlands, balancing lakes and urban drainage systems that help protect MK. There will also be an opportunity to discover some of the problems that these bodies of water can bring and how The Parks Trust surveys and manages them.
The talk will take place at our Education Centre at Linford Lakes Nature Reserve. Seating and a small selection of hot and cold drinks will be provided. Suitable for adults and accompanied children aged 12 and over.
We host a variety of walks, talks and workshops for adults covering many different topics including bushcraft, wildlife surveying, foraging, woodland management and wellbeing.
