Join Groundwork East and other like minded volunteers to learn more about your local river and how volunteer work can make a huge difference to the natural environment.

We will be adding 'berms' to the river, woody structures that create bends in the river. These help recreate the natural shape of Chalk Streams like the Colne, where they have been artificially straightened in the past.

This creates and extends habitats used by spawning fish and invertebrates, and the berms themselves trap silt which then allows native plants to grow.

Task: Adding deflectors on the right bank.
