Restoring nature for all
We visit a major project in the north of England that is restoring a damaged landscape
Myra Anubi visits a major project in the north of England that is restoring a damaged landscape. Haweswater in the Lake District is an area of stunning natural beauty but over the years it’s been degraded by humans and livestock. This has created flooding risks for people further down the valley. But now work is underway to restore the site to benefit both man and the environment. Rivers have been ‘rewiggled’, peat bogs repaired, and trees planted. It’s hoped that this can reduce the flood risk and see many plants and animals returning.
