After the floods – restoring riverbanks with trees in Cumbria

Flooding can have a devastating impact on riverbanks. This case study details our partnership work with landowners along the River Derwent – restoring riverbanks through tree planting.

Following disastrous floods in the north-west of England we’ve been working with local landowners to:

• help stabilise banks
• slow flood water
• reduce the likelihood and impact of floods in the future.
