Groundbreaking new river vision and economic analysis provides a blueprint for reimagining England’s rivers at scale

A groundbreaking new vision for rivers in England, released today by The Wildlife Trusts, Trent Rivers Trust and Intact Insurance, outlines how nature must be at the heart of plans to restore waterways across England in order to unlock significant economic, environmental and societal benefits.

Published today, The Rivers 2040 Vision maps and assesses the impact of restoring the entirety of the River Trent - England’s longest river from source to sea - on nature, the economy and local communities. By reimagining how communities, businesses and land use can work together to bring the Trent back to health, the Vision provides a blueprint for restoring whole river systems across the country.

Yes that all sounds wonderful but how do the incredibly wealthy get more wealth from this? You see it's just not practical to benefit the people who aren't incredibly wealthy.
