Notice Information

Notice Title

Rewilding the Old Lea River

Notice Description

This project seeks to help restore the Old Lea, as far as possible, in both appearance and ecological function, transforming it into a cleaner, healthier, naturally flowing and more climate-resilient waterway. Rewilding interventions will mimic key natural processes typically driven by beaver activity, large herbivores, and woodland river dynamics, including tree fall, decay, and storm-driven channel change. These processes support habitat complexity, improve water quality, and strengthen ecological resilience.
