A novel technique to restore a river to its original state prior to any human intervention - known as stage zero - has been used for the first time at a large scale in the UK
A novel technique to restore a river to its original state prior to any human intervention – known as stage zero – has been used for the first time at a large scale in the UK.
“In the UK, we’ve sadly lost over 90 per cent of our wetland habitat,” said Ben Eardley at the National Trust in a press release. The team also sowed wildflower seeds such as wild carrot to attract pollinators to the site. “It’s very abundant in insects, crickets, butterflies, dragonflies and birds [now],” says Eardley.
Spot tests have shown that the water quality is already increasing only four weeks after restoration, he says, adding that the new soil environment should also sequester more carbon.
