NFM Training Course
Two weeks ago RRC held two training courses back-to-back focusing on Natural Flood Management (NFM).
Day 1 - Mapping Historical Floodplains using the Hydrogeomorphological Survey
The first of our Natural Flood Management courses was titled “Mapping Historical Floodplains using the Hydrogeomorphological Survey”. The aim of this course was to introduce a method for producing a map which represents inundation zones and flood pathways on a floodplain.

Wales 3rd sector training course
As part of our Esmée Fairbairn Foundation funded Community Engagement Programme, the RRC ran a River Restoration Project Delivery training course on the River Ogwen, North Wales, this Tuesday (23rd May 2017). The course was freely available to NGOs, community groups and volunteers with the aim of providing these organisations with training they would otherwise not have the funding to attend.
