Planting willow cuttings in the Upper Lune today. We're hoping they take root and we can expand this trial next year to 1) increase shade 2) soak up excess water as part of natural flood management & 3) filter out excess nutrients from muck spreading before they enter the river⛰

Couldn’t have asked for better weather or a better venue for our recent trip to Matson Ground in the Lake District. Fantastic day and great see sustainable food production working so well in what’s usually a pretty wet and harsh environment. #farming #foodproduction
