A private event for the Insurance Institute of London
If you are looking to develop your expertise around natural flood management, biodiversity net gain, regenerative agriculture, or simply build your network of brokers, insurers and insurance professionals working in this space, then our Field Trip to Spains Hall Estate in north Essex is the event to attend.

Dig out your walking boots, as the day starts with a 3-hour nature walk around the Spains Hall Estate with Partner and Estate Owner, Archie Ruggles-Brise, where you will visit the beaver enclosure, the Estate’s nut farm and the land it has devoted to BNG units.
You will learn first-hand about the Estate’s pioneering work at the forefront of climate and nature solutions, with ample opportunities to ask questions, and discuss your thoughts and opinions with Archie and others at the event.

The walk will give you a comprehensive understanding of how wetland restoration and beaver reintroduction are being utilised to enhance resilience to climate-related events in the area.

1/ Develop a practical understanding of how a Natural Flood Risk Management solution (beavers) can significantly reduce risk exposure2/ Gain knowledge of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and how units for developers are being created and managed, and the implications this has for products and policy wordings
3/ Understand the challenges and opportunities in adapting farming practices to changing climate conditions, government policies, and market demands, and how the insurance industry can encourage these practices.
