Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Welland for People and Wildlife is a partnership project that will use CRF funds to restore 2.3km of the River Welland and its tributary the River Jordan, as they run through Market Harborough, Leicestershire, in largely trapezoidal channels that were constructed in the 1970s. The outcomes of the projest are the improvements of the natural flow regimes (riffles and pools alternating in a new low flow channel); habitat (a natural mosaic of biotopes in riffles, pools, runs and bars); biodiversity (increase in species as a result of improved habitat diversity); social / cultural benefits (a recreational and educational environment for people of the town); water quality (biotope diversity will increase the ecological processes of the river, such as nutrient uptake); ecosystem services (as a consequence of all the above).
