Christopher Cassell
(Data and monitoring officer, Hadrian's Wall wetlands landscape recovery project, Northumberland National Park)
Hadrian’s Wall has stood for nearly 2,000 years, but the land around it is changing. The Landscape Recovery Project aims to facilitate a thriving future for both nature and land-based businesses. Come along for a down-to-earth look at what’s happening on the ground. From water to wildlife, we'll be looking at how technology has enhanced our environmental monitoring and discussing what this means for the future of this historic landscape. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, or simply enjoy a walk in the countryside, this is a chance to find out what’s really going on beyond the wall.
