英国国家信托基金会在萨默塞特郡霍尼科特庄园实施的荒野恢复项目取得显著成效。1该项目通过恢复河流自然流向和湿地，在今夏五次热浪期间保持了绿色繁茂，与周边干旱褐色的乡村景观形成鲜明对比。1
项目经理本·厄德利解释了这一效果的原因，他表示："通过重新连接河流系统与周围地区并在景观中创造天然海绵，我们创建了一个在干旱期间储存水的系统。"1这些基于自然的解决方案为气候变化适应和社区防灾提供了实际证据。国家信托基金会自然与土地总监哈里·鲍威尔预测明年可能出现另一次厄尔尼诺现象。1
英国在过去一个世纪失去了超过90%的湿地。1在邓威奇，国家信托基金会管理的另一个庄园的低地荒地在今夏野火中被摧毁。1
A wetland restoration project at Honeycott Estate in Somerset, managed by the National Trust, has demonstrated the effectiveness of nature-based solutions during this summer's extreme weather.1 The rewilded area maintained lush green vegetation through five successive heatwaves while the surrounding countryside became brown and parched.1 The restoration work involved reconnecting river systems to their natural flow patterns and recreating wetland habitats across the landscape.1
Project manager Ben Erdley explained the mechanism behind the site's resilience, stating that "by reconnecting river systems with surrounding areas and creating natural sponges in the landscape, we've built a system that stores water during dry periods."1 This approach contrasts sharply with the broader environmental situation in the UK, where more than 90 percent of wetlands have been lost over the past century.1 The National Trust's Director of Nature and Land, Harry Powell, warned that another El Niño event may occur next year, underscoring the importance of climate adaptation measures.1 Elsewhere, a lowland heath at another National Trust estate in Dunwich fell victim to wildfires during this summer, highlighting the varied impacts of extreme weather across different habitat types.1
