Don't be fooled by the rain we have welcomed in the last few days - Yorkshire has experienced it's driest spring since 1871 receiving just 0.5% of average rainfall for this time of year, resulting in reservoir stocks 22% lower than expected. See more: zurl.co/ZQ9jS

We're thrilled to have completed this pond & wetland project in the Upper Calder! Working with the landowner & a wetland engineer, we’ve daylighted a land drain to create wetland habitat, improve flood and drought resilience, and tackle diffuse agricultural pollution.

Look at this amazing before & after from one of our Himalayan balsam control sites! We've been pulling it since 2023 and last month, we arrived to no balsam! It's so rewarding to see our efforts pay off, especially at what we believe is the most upstream site on this watercourse!
