Snaizeholme River Restoration work

With a staggering 21 streams running down into Snaizeholme Beck, there is a huge amount of work needed to slow the headlong rush of water downstream during heavy rains.
Alongside our plans to restore peatland, we'll use additional Natural Flood Management to slow water flow and trap sediment, all while letting fish and crayfish safely slip through.
The river restoration work with the Wild Trout Trust received Fishery Improvement Programme funding from the Environment Agency
The trees, fencing and planting at Snaizeholme have been funded through the White Rose Forest and their Trees for Climate programme, part of the Government’s Nature for Climate Fund.

Great work. Looks so much better and healthier

Be nice to see trees alongside the river. Think they'd cool the water for benefit of fish in summer alongside other benefits.

And trees may attract a few dam engineers working for free.

Already part of the plan! This project just gives us that immediate impact while we wait for our trees to grow and allow some of these sorts of thing to occur more naturally.

Great! Are there sheep in the valley? Guessing you've fenced off trees?

[@jackstone4291]

Many many other benefits to the habitat and wildlife with trees and saplings and bushes and low ground cover than that! But yes .. keep the fish cool in the trees shade ..

Amazing work 💚 Love to see this in the UK 🇬🇧

If you can continue the fencing to keep the deer and sheep out, hopefully you can get some trees in there to allow the return of beavers.
