Restoring London’s Rivers - 26/10/2012

for presentations goto our slideshare site

The effective restoration of London’s rivers can provide improved natural habitats for wildlife and a better space for human recreation. Designed imaginatively, they can also even help to reduce crime and the fear of crime and contribute to a higher quality of life for all.

Those were some of the key messages to emerge from yesterday morning’s breakfast talk at NLA on Restoring London’s Rivers.

A community drop-in on the restoration project on the River Nar is being held in the village of Castle Acre on Thursday 27 September.

The final programme is now confirmed for the 'Improving morphology and fish passage in high energy rivers' RESTORE workshop to be held at the Birnam Institute, Dunkeld, Scotland, PH8 0DS. The workshop is 25th September and optional site visit on 26th September (based around Pitlochory and the Rivers Tay and Tummel).

From 15 August - 9 September 2012 the exhibition of brilliant artworks created by secondary school pupils from London and other cities around the world within the framework of Rivers of the World 2012 programme will be shown at the gallery@oxo on the South Bank. Rivers of the World is the Mayor's Thames Festival's flagship global art and education project which every year links over 2,000 young people around the world who study their, or their partner city's river as inspiration for producing fantastic artworks for public display.
