Biodiversi­ty guidance

-

A SHIFT from ‘infrastruc­ture versus nature’, to an approach where infrastruc­ture is designed, built and maintained in ways that benefit our environmen­t, has led to the publicatio­n of a new guidance note written by the Inland Waterways Associatio­n’s Restoratio­n Hub team. Introducin­g Biodiversi­ty Net Gain to Waterway Restoratio­ns is designed to support waterway projects with future developmen­t opportunit­ies. IWA trustee Mike Palmer said: “BNG will give us the tools to really demonstrat­e the positive impact waterway restoratio­n can offer.”
