Francesca Campagnoli, Brent Catchment Partnership Facilitator from Thames21 said: “We’re all about inspiring people to get reacquainted, reconnected with their local waterway. This event is just one way we are doing that. At Thames21 we believe that reaching out to people beyond traditional environmental and conservation realms can really help promote care for and interest in London’s beautiful waterscapes. This evening of talks will be a chance to build momentum on ideas that break the urban-rural divide and allow us to see our local rivers as unique, urban wild spaces.”
