Just one example of the work taking place in the Mease catchment to improve river habitat and water quality
30 Oct 2023
Flood plain reconnection 🤝nutrient reduction
With:
5 re-profiled bends
5 scrapes of 1000 m2
Two backwaters
our work on this stretch of the Mease is nearing completion.
These interventions store flood water on land & settle out silt, reducing nutrient pollution.

Great project ongoing on the Pessall Brook, a tributary of the River Mease, thanks to @EnvAgencyMids
27 Sep 2022
This brook in Coton on Elms was destined for a concrete makeover, as the wood installation supporting the bank had become dilapidated.

So many people at the Edingale show the other week were interested in the bugs and special places on the River Mease. The model was popular too! :-)

What makes a healthy river? What kind of invertebrates live in my river? What can we do to help the Mease?
All those questions were answered at Saturday's Edingale Show!
Thank you for having us!
