I'm going to need to find a way to work #MakeRiversBendAgain into more conversations. What an inspiration to see the hard graft yielding results.
Very exciting to revisit berms we installed in the autumn on the Teville stream & find 12 inches of accumulated sediment. Some have even started sprouting native marginal plants! 💧🌱💪

Moorhen, kingfisher, stickleback & early damselfly all using the rewiggled habitat!
