back in 2018, seven square miles at the top of this moorland, this is winterhill behind me, was ablaze in a wildfire about this time of year. but the restoration work that is going on here is holding water in that moor, so it is helping to offset the impacts of climate change like flooding, but also restoring that peat land and the whole ecosystem. the flow of water here is slowed by these willow branches, which keep it up in the moorland rather than running off the hill and flooding towns. ok, so this is the leaky dam? so these are leaky dams, the naturalflood management, where the aim is to hold the water to slow it down. just to slow that flow? yeah. 0k, 0k. yeah, you can see it working and see the water flowing through. you can, you get a really great view from the top. 0h, ok, let s go and have a look. come on, then! we know what we ve got to do. we need those commitments from the powers that be, to commit to ensuring we still strive to get
