Riparian Buffer Strips and Tree Planting

Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

This project aims to incorporate and tackle many important issues through a integrated approach to catchment management. The core reason for the project was to setup a demonstration site for Natural Flood Management, however, this project also delivers a wide range of multiple benefits. It also identified the mechanisms that enable effective deliver by working with multiple landowners in a small subcathment. Collectively, working towards a natural capital approach which enables a wide range of public goods to be delivered through a multiple funding sources. The main deliverables for this project has been: installing leaky dams, construction of earth bunds, increasing riparian buffer strips, tree planting, scrape creation. We have run engagement events to a number of groups (farmers, flood effected communities, other rivers trusts and partners), to increase awareness, inspire and encourage more Natural Flood management and partnership work to be delivered.

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.

Monitoring the effectiveness of the bunds and leaky dams by installing time lapse cameras. Monitoring visitor numbers and gathering feedback from visitors to understand the benefits of the guided walks and how we could make improvements
