Everything you need to know about duckweed on the River Witham

Fish need high levels of dissolved oxygen to survive however these levels can crash during thunderstorms.

Our officers recently responded to reports of hundreds of dead fish at a still water fishery near Mablethorpe.
It was found that recent thunderstorms and downpours had led to oxygen levels in the water crashing.
Several water pumps were brought in by our team who managed to get the oxygen levels back up and save many hundreds of fish. If you see fish in distress get in touch by calling us on 0800 807060

Our officers recently returned to Belton, Lincolnshire to look at the latest phase of river restoration work.
We have previously worked on the last two phases of work here installing wood and gravel riffles; shallow fast running sections of a stream.
Officers from @southkesteven have been continuing with the work. The river itself will now do the final finishing touches as it now has the ability to spill out of bank more regularly and to form and create new pathways and wetlands.

Last year we installed natural flood management interventions on the River Waring.
The interventions hold water in the upper catchment and reduce levels of sediment from adjacent agricultural land.
It also encourages natural river processes to improve habitat.

500 metres of river at Market Rasen have been protected thanks to restoration work by officers.
The techniques used protect the banks from further erosion and improve the in-channel habitat.
It’s hoped this work will encourage chalk stream species to colonise.

Take a peek at the glowing testimonial from one of our members...

Last year we restored 430 metres of the Dunston Beck, creating 1.3 hectares of wetland habitat.
By reconnecting the Beck with its flood plain it is hoped that we will see an increase in fish and invertebrate populations.

Today is world wetlands day.
In Lincolnshire we reset a river for the first time in 2,500 years.
This created wetlands which support wildlife during drought as well as reducing flood risk downstream.
The wetlands also help to trap nutrients and fine sediment resulting in cleaner river water downstream, benefiting fish and other animals. Read more here: https://t.co/f1aHNZzjgu

Have you seen that we have reset the River Witham back to how it looked 2,500 years ago? 👀
By doing this we will eliminate more than 117 tonnes of carbon, help drought and reduce flooding.
