Join us for a special collaboration with Bristol’s 2025 Festival of Nature, to hear about rivers as the ancient ‘gut health’ of our planet – and what we can be doing to nurture and enjoy them in our cities and beyond.
The expert panel will be led by Professor Darren Reynolds (Director of the Centre for Research in Sustainable Agri-Food & Environment at UWE Bristol), with guests Emma Brisdion (Communications & Campaigns Manager, The Rivers Trust and UWE Bristol Alum), Dr Eva Perrin (Research Fellow in River Pollution, University of Plymouth and UWE Bristol Alum), Rob Passmore and Hedvig Lyche (Additive Catchments), and Mehbooba Ferdoush.
