Great work #TeamEA. This type of work is so effective, balancing risk with need to keep river habitat features in place on a recovering river to support fish and wildlife. The Tame was once dead to life but not anymore. Grayling, barbel, eel, pike, bullhead. It supports them all.
This large willow tree was spanning the River Tame near Kingsbury #Warwickshire just upstream of a road bridge. We’ve cut it back before it detaches & blocks the bridge but we've left the base & lower limbs in the river so it can regrow, protect the bank & give cover for #fish
It's a tricky balance between ensuring adequate capacity for base flows whilst retaining important woody debris in the channel. Careful and selective thinning happening today thanks to @Boreal_Trees @EnvAgencyMids
Wow!

The heavy rain last week put our newly re-profiled banks to the test. Here we see the bank in low and high flows. The sloped bank before the reeds is acting as a backwater and fish refuge in the higher flows.
