Common land can play an important role in managing water across the landscape, helping to slow water during periods of heavy rainfall while retaining moisture and supporting resilience during dry periods.

This webinar will explore approaches to water management on common land, including natural flood management, wetland and peatland restoration, improving soil and water retention, and managing water resources for land management and nature.

Drawing on examples from across England, the session will consider the practical opportunities and challenges of managing water on commons, including partnership working, permissions and the wider benefits for biodiversity, water quality and climate resilience.
