From Land to Water: What is shaping our rivers?

As part of our Waters of Exmoor campaign, we are delighted to welcome Professor Penny J. Johnes, Professor of Biogeochemistry at the University of Bristol, for a talk on the many sources of pollution affecting Exmoor’s rivers, streams and coastal waters. She will explain how pollution impacts ecosystem health, and what can be done to control it in ways that benefit wildlife and improve water quality.

Professor Johnes has spent more than thirty years researching the relationship between what happens on land and what happens in our rivers and seas. She is one of Britain’s leading environmental scientists and has advised the government on reducing water pollution. We are very grateful that she has agreed to speak to The Exmoor Society about her work. This is a not-to-be-missed talk for anyone who wants to understand more about the pressures facing our rivers and streams – and what can be done to help protect them.

Join us at Dulverton Town Hall on Tuesday 23rd June. Welcome drinks at 6.00  pm with the talk commencing at 6.30 pm.
