Out exploring the River Wenning today. We met up with locals who want to ensure that the water will be clean enough for their grandchildren to play in 💚 Discussed which sources of pollution we can effectively tackle locally. Woodland creation to absorb run off is a good start 🌳

Jemma and I were out soil sampling for farms around Orton. The soil is being tested for nutrients & carbon; farmers will use this info to inform their land management practices. Well managed farmland = less river pollution 🐑

Beautiful morning on the Lune in Caton 🌄 Good to see that the floodwater has receded from the floodplain. Thanks Emma Sutcliffe for the pic 📷

On Tues 21 Feb The Sixth Form at Ripley St Thomas students worked alongside volunteers from the Lune Rivers Trust and Lancaster University to undertake a tree planting/conservation program. Alder & Willow trees were planted along the banks of the River Conder to act as a natural flood defence. RipleyScience

Earlier this week Jemma & Fiona held a presentation with Natural England to update farmers in the Keer area on sources of funding. People want to protect nature; often, it's a case of figuring out how we can with existing business plans and the funding available.

Planting willow cuttings in the Upper Lune today. We're hoping they take root and we can expand this trial next year to 1) increase shade 2) soak up excess water as part of natural flood management & 3) filter out excess nutrients from muck spreading before they enter the river⛰️
