Noticed today that Ordnance Survey have recorded the naturalisation of Goldrill Beck for posterity. A real change to the river and the reconnected wet floodplain! Let's hope they have to change it again soon as this liberated reach of the river evolves into something even better.

Fabulous days out on river restoration projects in Cumbria thanks to ⁦@freshwaterbio⁩ and ⁦@Dynamic_Rivers. Amazing variety in re-naturalised systems - gravel bars (some vegetated), bifurcations, reactivation of paleo channels #riverrestoration

There has been unprecedented rainfall and the land is water logged, but let’s spread slurry from the road (25.02.22) in a National Park, AONB, with local SSSI’s and nearby rivers/lakes just down the road! @EnvAgency @GeorgeMonbiot @Alexander_Lees @lakedistrictnpa

Newly completed #floodplain reconnection project on Dunston Beck, Lincs, turning former arable field into diverse wetland & meadow habitats. #Partnership managed by WTT's Tim Jacklin along with landowners @beeswaxfarming and funding partner @EnvAgencyMids Now & then shots
Dunston Beck project is well on its way, with top soil stripped back and the formation of the bends clear from our photos. The variation in depths and flow patterns will sort the sands and gravel on the riverbed, improving water quality and delivering benefits to the ecosystem.

Today’s office.... it’s very (very) cold, slightly raining & I’m outside all day. No such thing as bed weather, just inappropriate clothing. The stunning #LakeDistrict @lakedistrictnpa

Active debris dam on the River churnet. The influence of fallen trees on habitat and flow is fantastic! This is not a blockage, this is NFM.

Nature is amazing, this woody debris is balanced perfectly on the fulcrum. As demonstrated by @NickMott7

Incredibly sad managed channels in a superficially idyllic Thai landscape. Is there anything natural left? @aquauos #aquauosontour
