Project Impact
Natural flood management and water quality: The planting will make a positive contribution to the river catchment by helping to reduce flood risk, improve water quality, protect riparian zones and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Enhancing wildlife: This planting increases biodiversity, particularly within the edge habitats, providing habitat for insects, invertebrates and mammals.
Contribution to Net Zero, health and wellbeing: The woodlands have been registered under the UK Woodland Carbon Code and will sequester hundreds of CO2 equivalent tons for the benefit of UK and global populations as they mature
