Using big stones to make the in stream habitat better.
We did this project in June and it’s settling in well. Hopefully after a few big floods have washed through it’ll make a nice deep holding pool for Trout & Salmon
Partnership project with Env Agency NW

Checked on a wetland that we made last year. The only water that’s left in this field, the stream has long since dried up
A refuge for wildlife and a vital drinking source for stock

So rewarding to see the swallows feeding on a pond that we made only 2 months ago. It already has water boatmen,damsel flies and so much more . Such an easy win in a wet corner of a field
