Beavers can turn streams into carbon stores – we measured how much As beavers reshape rivers, wetlands become a natural storage system for carbon.

A new study has found beaver damming to provide 10x more carbon storage for water courses than those without beavers. Methane emissions were also found to be minimal.

Flood risk is increasing — highlighting the importance of responsible planning and resilient landscapes.

Natural Flood Management helps restore natural river processes, slowing and storing water to help reduce flooding in existing flood prone communities.

#NaturalFloodManagement #FloodResilience

Can slowing water upstream reduce flooding downstream? 💧

On Pipp Brook in Dorking, we’re installing Leaky Woody Dams — simple, nature-based structures that slow the flow, store water higher up the catchment and improve habitat.

Watch to see NFM in action 🎥

...such as gully blocking and sphagnum planting can slow down the flow of water from the moors, decreasing reducing peak streamflow (the maximum amount of water in a river after a storm), and increasing the time it takes the water to enter the river system (lag time). #NaturalFloodManagement

🌊Marking 10 years since #StormDesmond🌊

#NaturalFloodManagement has been implemented across #Cumbria which were affected by the #storm.
Planting trees, river restoration, leaky dams, even transforming disused reservoirs helps slow & store water upstream which reduces downstream flood peaks.

1/3 Airlifting has been in full swing this week, as part of moorland restoration work on Raven's Clough and Birchinlee, in the Upper Derwent Valley.

🍂🌧️ Natural Flood Management in Action!

Our land advisors love seeing their projects come to life in the rain. Spotted here is the work we’re doing through the CROC (Climate Resilient Otter Catchment) project.

💡 Myth Busting Monday!

Many people think #NaturalFloodManagement only works in rivers…
However, it’s also used on our coasts! 🌊🌱

Dunes, managed realignment & beach nourishment help absorb wave energy, reduce erosion & protect communities.
