We are excited to be hosting ADA’s third annual Environment Day on Wednesday 5 February 2025 at Park Farm, Thorney, near Peterborough. The event is kindly sponsored by Xylem.

This free in-person event aims to provide an insightful day of talks on a range of topics relevant to the management of the lowland watercourses and the freshwater environment. The day will cover everything from peat soils to invasive species, and aquatic flora to local nature recovery.

ADA warmly invites those who play a role in managing, maintaining, and governing safe water levels and flood risk infrastructure across our lowland water landscapes. The event aims to help you to better perform your statutory environmental duties, utilise best practice approaches, and enhance your local lowland environment as part of your essential work.

Our last Environment Day was a capacity event, and so we would encourage you to book your place now as we anticipate that the ADA Environment Day 2025 will attract strong interest from lowland water managers.
