We all know this & yet when of the most beautiful & peaceful places are practically empty - even when close to large populations. Have we forgotten to go out?

Floodplains: when the green turns blue!
For example, the extensive Somerset levels are one big floodplain?

Floodplains are among the most productive ecosystems on the planet – they are biodiversity hotspots. That's in large part due to periodic flooding between different parts of a river-floodplain system.
