A
Hello,
everybody
and
my
name
is
philip
reese,
I'm
the
parks
and
foreshore
manager
for
adrian
worthing
council.
Welcome
today
to
my
presentation
on
the
topic
that
is
on
the
top
of
the
slide.
A
This
is
part
of
the
climate
assembly
that
you
are
being
part
of,
and
I
hope
that
you
get
some
learning
and
some
enjoyment,
and
it
raises
some
questions
and
motivation.
My
presentation
for
you
today,
as
part
of
the
assembly,
so
the
first
aspect
that
I
wanted
to
cover
was
what
actually
nature
can
do
for
us.
So
you
can
see
on
the
left
of
the
screen
here
and
that
there
is
a
list
of
aspects
that
nature
can
provide
for
us.
A
There's
a
lot
more
things
that
nature
can
do,
but
I
wanted
to
mix
things
up
on
some
things
that
we
will
cover
in
more
detail
today,
but
also,
I
hope,
some
things
that
will
potentially
be
covered
in
other
topics
and
other
presentations
that
you'll
be
part
of
as
part
of
the
climate
assembly.
A
The
one
that
I
wanted
to
focus
on
was
enhanced
tourism.
We
are
a
tourism
town
and
nature,
can
play
key
roles
and
does
play
key
roles
in
enabling
a
lot
more
people
to
connect
and
engage
with
us
as
a
location
in
an
area
and
simply
by
creating
a
sense
of
space,
a
sense
of
place
and
as
well
as
the
beauty
that
it
provides
for
us,
and
I
often
notice
it
nowadays
in
marketing
material.
For
example.
A
And
I
see
it
a
lot
in
four
before
adverts,
where
the
four
befores,
in
generally
in
kind
of
more
wilder
and
beautiful
natural
environments
and
and
I'd
like
to
think
of
it,
of
the
fact
that
the
marketing
that
is
being
provided
for
that
is
the
four
before
is
featuring
in
nature,
rather
than
nature
featuring
in
the
four
befores
video,
because
it's
actually
nature
that
is
creating
that
landscape
and
creating
that
whole
feeling
and
vibe
and
setting,
and
to
enable
that
advert
to
continue.
A
Some
of
the
work
that
we've
already
been
doing
has
been
around
changing
our
maintenance
regime
and
we've
done
that
because
we
want
to
actually
encourage
nesting
birds.
So
unless
we're
in
breach
of
the
highways
act,
we
are
no
longer
maintaining
our
shrub
beds
or
hedgerows
during
nesting
season.
This
enables
nesting
birds
to
have
peace
and
quiet
without
us,
going
along
with
our
hedge
trimmers
and
disturbing
and
then
rearing
their
young.
A
One
of
the
other
things
that
we're
also
doing
is
actually
looking
at
our
hedge
heights.
So
if
you
think
of
a
hedgerow,
a
hawthorne
hedgerow,
if
we
don't
maintain
the
height
of
that,
these
hawthorne
bushes
start
to
turn
into
hawthorne
trees
and
what
goes
with
that
is
that
you
lose
the
density
at
the
base
of
the
hedge
if
they
start
to
grow
into
larger
trees.
A
Dense
hedgerows
at
the
base
play
an
important
role
force
in
relation
to
clean
air
around
arterial
roots,
and
they
play
a
key
role
in
filtrating
the
pollutants
from
the
exhausts,
as
well
as
brake
dust
that
comes
from
our
cars.
So
it's
really
important
that
actually,
the
hedge
height
is
actually
managed
appropriately
to
ensure
that
this
density
is
connected.
A
There's
also
opportunities
for
us
to
look
at
infilling
gaps
to
create
nature
highways.
So
do
we
have
opportunities
to
create
more
hedgerows?
Do
we
have
opportunities
in
our
gardens
or
in
our
parks
or
in
wider
landscapes,
where
we
can
start
to
look
at
creating
more
habitat
spaces
by
planting
more
hedgerows,
and
with
that
we
then
have
the
opportunity
of
actually
being
specie-specific.
A
So
we
can.
We
can
pick
specific
species
to
support
aspects
that
we're
trying
to
achieve.
So
if
we
think
about
clean
air
there's
recent
research
over
the
last
few
years
from
the
universities
around
species,
such
as
you,
hedges,
are
really
really
good
at
filtration
and
within
hedgerows.
A
If
we
talk
about
trees,
silver
birch
are
the
best
trees
to
look
at
and
utilize.
So
if
we're
thinking
about
creating
tree-lined
avenues
along
our
highways,
silver
birch
should
be
really
good
opportunities
to
utilize
within
those
spaces.
So
if
we
mix
up
the
species
that
we're
that
we're
using,
we
also
increase
biodiversity,
and
we
also
increase
opportunities
for
different
food
sources,
as
well
as
preserving
our
stock
against
diseases
and
illness,
so
that
we
don't
have
whole
areas
wiped
out
through
illnesses
such
as
ash
dieback.
A
A
So
if
you
kind
of
look
on
google
earth
or
on
on
mapping
systems,
you
can
see
above
the
lake
that
there
is
a
network
of
lots
of
different
streams
and
going
into
the
river
that
then
comes
down
into
brooklyn's
lake.
So
when
we
get
flash
flooding
and
and
the
downpours
that
we
get
around
here
a
lot
and
it's
actually
the
lake
and
that
enables
us
to
balance
that
localized,
flooding
and
and
actually
expel
it
out
into
the
sea.
A
So
at
the
south
end
of
the
lake
there
are
some
gates,
and
so
it
equally
protects
us
when
we
have
high
tide,
so
the
sluice
gates,
we
can
lift
up
if
we've
got
a
downpour
coming,
so
it
allows
all
of
the
water
to
come
into
the
lake
and
then
out,
but
we
can
also
close
it
if
we've
got
high
tides
and
strong
weather
coming
in
from
the
sea
to
actually
protect
it
from
going
in
and
up
the
lake.
A
The
planting
schemes
that
we've
done
around
the
river
that
joins
into
the
lake,
as
well
as
around
the
edge
of
the
lake,
also
offer
a
unique
filtration
system
as
well,
and
that
nature
provides
so
a
lot
of
it
is
through
replanting.
A
So
if
you
think
about
where
all
the
the
streams
and
rivers
come
in
as
well
as
the
water
washes
in
from
the
roads
coming
into
the
rivers
and
streams
with
that
comes,
and
fuel
residue
oil,
residue
and
other
pollutants
that
are
on
our
roads
that
actually
then
wash
into
the
watercourse
by
having
these
reed
beds,
it
actually
filtrates
the
pollution
out
before
it
goes
out
to
sea.
A
So
it
really
aids
with
cleansing
that
that
water
and
then,
as
part
of
this,
what
we
have
noticed
over
the
last
12
to
18
months
is
there's
been
a
significant
increase
in
biodiversity
within
and
around
the
lake,
because
actually,
the
quality
of
the
water.
With
the
filtration
system
being
in
place
and
increase
habitat
and
biodiversity
space
for
birds
to
nest
is,
we
can
actually
see
the
benefits
of
that
by
the
increase
of
birds
and
we
so
the
swans
that
were
on
there
this
year.
A
I
think
there
were
six
chicks
this
year,
so
that's
quite
a
lot
of
cichlids
for
them
this
year
to
manage,
and
then
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
in
other
areas,
a
project
that
city
of
trees
has
been
part
of
with
salford
city
council,
which
is
actually
the
image
on
the
screen.
So
this
kind
of
links
in
a
little
bit
to
the
previous
slide
that
I
was
talking
about
around
highway
trees
connected
to
clean
air.
A
This
project
was
actually
around
water
quality
and
it's
been
done
with
the
universities
and-
and
it
is
around
again,
the
same
concept
of
of
the
lake
is
the
water
that
comes
in
off.
The
roads
goes
into
the
tree
pits
and
then
there
are
filtration
systems
within
that
and
which
reduce
pollutants
before
they
go
into
the
water
course
and
the
drainage
system,
but
actually
also
what
it
does
is.
A
It
slows
the
water
down,
as
well
as
the
trees,
obviously
suck
some
of
that
water
up,
so
it
actually
reduces
the
overall
amount
of
rain
and
water
that
goes
into
the
system.
So
these
are
further
opportunities
that
could
be
looked
at
and
explored,
and
the
data
and
scientific
research
is
actually
already
there
from
the
pilot
project
and
it
was
done
in
sulphur,
the
city
of
trees,
which
links
into
the
next
point
around
rain
gardens.
A
So
we
have
opportunities.
I've
not
seen
very
many
rain
gardens
around
here.
So
we
have
lots
of
opportunities
to
start
to
look
at
and
explore
where
we
can
actually
implement
rain
gardens
potentially,
for
example,
around
our
car
parks,
where
we've
got
lots
of
hard
standing
and
we
know
with
rain
that
it
needs
to
go
somewhere.
So,
let's
think
about
putting
rain
gardens
around
the
edge
of
that.
A
So
we
have
localized
water
management
and
sub
schemes,
so
lots
of
opportunities
for
us
to
explore
and
think
about
connected
to
these
aspects,
and
then
we
have
health
and
healing.
So
I'm
really
sorry,
but
this
slide
is
probably
going
to
be
a
little
bit
data
heavy.
A
A
So
in
1938
there
was
research
that
highlighted
that
depression
is
the
highest
in
urban
compared
to
rural
settings
in
1939
there
is
scientific
reach,
research
that
shows
that
mental
disorders
in
urban
areas
are
significantly
higher,
so
schizophrenia
was
much
more
common
in
deprived
inner
city
chicago
than
it
was
in
affluent
suburbs
in
2001,
a
dose-response
relationship
between
time
spent
in
urban
environments
in
childhood
and
risk
in
2003
to
2009.
A
A
So
this
is
about
urban
cities,
but
the
bigger
kind
of
populated
areas,
but
you
can
kind
of
see
that
what
comes
with
that
is
lack
of
green
spaces
and
then
from
green
space
to
risk
factors
to
health
outcomes
is
part
of
the
bullet
points,
then
that
you
can
see
on
the
right
hand
side
around
when
we
have
green
spaces
and
you
can
see
what
is
reduced
and
when
we
have
green
space
within
the
areas
that
we
live,
you
can
see
what
is
improved
and
for
us
as
a
species
and
then,
as
part
of
this
presentation
that
I
was
at
which
actually,
I
found
this
point,
probably
more
poignant
than
ever,
which
was
around
the
nhs
treatment
based
model.
A
A
And
what
this
slide
was
saying,
and
what
the
lady
who
was
giving
the
presentation
who
was
from
nhs
england
was
saying
that
actually,
we
need
to
start
considering
a
new
model
see
this
for
me
is
around
where
the
opportunities
are
and
the
reason
why
some
of
this
I
wanted
to
be
quite
data.
A
Heavy,
is
because
there's
research
after
research
after
research
that
tells
us
and
shows
us
actually
how
good
nature
is
for
us,
and
I
think,
if
we
think
about
our
journeys
within
covid
and
our
hour
a
day
exercise
that
we
had
at
some
point.
Our
green
spaces
were
just
so
valuable
to
us
in
relation
to
just
getting
out
connecting
a
little
bit
with
other
people,
potentially
socially
distance
and
actually
how
valued
that
time
was
for
us.
A
It's
been
quite
interesting
in
relation
to
people's
perception
of
nature,
and
these
again
are
from
some
of
my
experiences
and
views.
But
I've
also
picked
up
on
different
presentations
and
areas,
and
I've
been
on
over
the
years
so
nature.
It's
not
a
passive
victim
of
human
population
growth.
A
It
should
not
be
an
obstacle
to
economic
growth
and
development,
and
instead
it
should
be
a
necessary
underpinning
for
vibrant
and
thriving
human
societies,
past
present
and
future,
and
I
think
that
is
where
our
biggest
opportunity
is
is
to
reframe
the
benefits
that
nature
brings
to
us
and
have
it
at
the
heart
of
every
single
decision
that
we
make
within
our
operational
world.
I
hope
that
you've
enjoyed
my
presentation
and
I
hope
that
it's
giving
you
some
food
food
for
thought.
Thank
you
very
much.
