New Forest Wetlands, Hampshire - 2019 UK River Prize Winner

So far the New Forest HLS has delivered 59 projects, totalling 29km of restoration to the New Forest watercourses that had previously been deepened or realigned. The restoration of the mires and streams has delivered reduced knickpoint erosion, reduced incision and lateral erosion, increased floodplain connection, increased resilience during times of drought, and reduced flood peaks.
Congratulations to the project partners: Forestry England, Verderers of the New Forest, the New Forest National Park Authority
