Naturally functioning tributary on the valley floor of the River Dee. This is what they should look like and how they should behave in our uplands. Needs livestock management, but this is a template vision of fluvial landscape recovery. Perhaps we need more of these as a guide?
Last night the Cumbria River Restoration Strategy team were runners up in the IRF World River Prize. Congratulations! Let's hope its a catalyst for further success. Please take the time to view this inspiring video highlighting 15 years of achievement. youtu.be/cF9UxMndfqs?fe…

Noticed today that Ordnance Survey have recorded the naturalisation of Goldrill Beck for posterity. A real change to the river and the reconnected wet floodplain! Let's hope they have to change it again soon as this liberated reach of the river evolves into something even better.
Another lake fan rejuvenation by the National Trust, this time on Goldrill Beck entering Ullswater. Simple principle applied: chute induced palaeo-distributary rejuvenation. Spectacular rewetting, even into the lake margin wet woodland. Minor intervention-MAJOR and rapid gains.
Kirkstone Beck above Brotherswater, formerly a lake fan system, historically straightened, embanked and revetted. Chute channel cutting has rejuvenated this feature re-occupying palaeo-distributaries and wetting wide swathes of the fan. Well done (again!) to the National Trust.
Another 2025 GoogleEarth offering. This time on the River Glen, now fabulously wandering across the valley floor thanks to far sighted landowners and imense behind the scenes work by Tweed Forum, EA and NE. Nicely illustrates enhanced natural gravel storage in and out of channel.
Google Earth just keeps giving! This time an updated image on the developing anastomosing channel system at Swindale Foot, instigated with a chute & rapid feature 5 years or so ago. Amazing network of flowing wetland channels creating superb juvenile fish habitat. Well done RSPB
These offline pond and wetland areas on the River Lyvennet at Kings Meaburn are maturing nicely too. A footpath runs through the valley bottom making it one of the few lakeland restoration schemes you can walk through. Well worth it if you are in the area.
Goldrill Beck from GoogleEarth in 2025. Fantastic system development post restoration. It's even better seen from the ground!
More from the latest GoogleEarth imagery: The River Keeke. From a plastic lined ditch to an active and diverse channel with incredible adjacent valley floor wetting created through disrupted drainage.
This image shows the change to the Geltsdale site post retsoration. Widespread wetting is resulting in rapid vegetation community response.
New images now on GoogleEarth... Look what's happened at Geltsdale! Channel diversification and valley floor feature rejuvenation. No wonder this won the UK river prize... Well done @RSPBEngland
We can debate the pros and cons of river restoration approaches but nature is the ultimate arbiter. These sand martins appear pretty happy with this chute channel work completed recently by @TyneRiversTrust on the River Rede but you need to watch it in full screen mode!

Serious river restoration funding 'delays' (read cuts) highlighted on the BBC this morning. Disasterous for the environment, flooding and the fight against climate change which will ultimately impact us all. Government cuts by stealth, ill-thoughtout and simply idiotic.
