Eden Stories - Winter Webinars
‘Eden Stories’ are a collection of winter talks, created as part of our Access to Eden: breaking barriers, building bridges partnership led by Eden Rivers Trust with a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Swimming Feats
Julia Aglionby and Kirsty Hollings tell the story of View from the River’s epic 80 mile swim from Source to Sea; from Mallerstang to the Solway; the legacy it has left and the ambition sown for bigger challenges ahead to address pollution in the River Eden. Watch the recording of the webinar held on Wednesday 30th October 2024.
Iron Teeth
Joe Clements, assistant conservation manager with Lowther Estates, provides an insight into a ground breaking regenerative land management scheme employing nature’s most talented water engineers! Watch the recording of the webinar held on Friday 29th November 2024.
It’s a timely talk as the Cumbria Beaver Group – Eden Rivers Trust is a proud partner – announced news that two beaver kits were born at the site in the summer; four years since parents, a pair of Eurasian beavers, Glen and Dragonfly, were introduced.
