@laferia-project.eu💧 Today: wet #LandscapeFeatures - #ditches, #SmallWetlands, #ponds & #RiparianVegetation.
🌊 The water-cleaners of the farm. Ditches carry frogs, birds & mammals, strip out nitrogen, phosphorus & pesticides, and trap sediment before it fouls the water.

@laferia-project.eu🌳 Next up: #woody #LandscapeFeatures - #hedgerows, #TreeRows, #LoneTrees & #SmallWoods.
🍃 Heavy hitters on #carbon, #soil & #wildlife. Hedgerows store carbon like woodland, hold back run-off, shelter crops & give #bees and #beetles a home.
💪🏽 One feature, many jobs!
