View source for File:Case study Upper Cringle Brook White Heath Plantation Restoration.pdf

This project has created 1 ha of floodplain habitat and restored a 1km section of the Upper Cringle Brook. The Brook here had been historically straightened, deepened, and disconnected from its floodplain and the resulting habitat was poor.

Trees from site have been placed across the new floodplain and ponds, secondary channels and back channel have been added to create variation. Top soil has been used on the same site to create a 1.7 hectare wildflower area next to the next floodplain.
