From Ice Age to Wetlands - the Lea Valley's Return to Nature was
inspired by the imaginative community-focused project known as
Walthamstow Wetlands. The Walthamstow Reservoirs in Waltham Forest,
London are being transformed into an urban wetland nature reserve
which will give visitors free access to the wildlife and industrial
heritage of this historic area. In this book, Jim Lewis highlights
the many and various major events that have helped to shape the Lea
Valley and its environs. He also takes the opportunity to explain
how scientists, engineers, developers and agriculturalists are
coming together in their understanding of the importance of helping
industry, agriculture and nature to co-exist by developing new ways
of protecting our diminishing natural resources. Many of the
stories within this book come together to demonstrate how the Lea
Valley region is a microcosm of global environmental events that
have serious implications for our planet. The Walthamstow Wetlands
project is just one example of how the Lea Valley is working to
transform the effects of its industrial past and give due attention
to the natural environment.
