Our first project was in 1989, as part of a major river restoration and garden landscaping scheme on the river Wylye at Ballington, Wiltshire. Since those early days, our expertise has increased, as has the scope of our projects. To find out more visit: https://t.co/g6yxG9WvRE

Time lapse of new restored channel filling up from a project we completed during the Summer alongside @ARKennet. Reinstating the paleo channel and creating some nice stream habitat.

The Bourne Rivulet has flowed all through summer which is a testament to how much rain we had last winter to refill the aquifers. Some shots of the river where we completed some bank repairs 3-4 years back, which have allowed the margins to grow up.

Sometimes it's easier to work in tandem to get the job done!

A beautiful still morning to be adding some touches to our new nature-like fish pass. #riverrestoration

Privileged to be undertaking the initial restoration works for this project!

Restoration works along the River Anton to begin as part of regeneration plans https://t.co/qTARu7dwiq

It's alive again! The Shalbourne reborn through its floodplain. Thanks to the @CainBio ops team and Rupert Kelton from @ARKennet for hard work relivening this stretch south from Hungerford.

[Cain Bio-Engineering @CainBio]

Putting the Shalbourne back to where it belongs in its original paleo channel! 1.2km of channel reconnected to floodplain. Now to dress with some wood... #riverrestoration @ARKennet

Returning the Shalbourne Stream near hungerford back to its original paleo channel. Lining with gravel to promote good habitat. #riverrestoration @ARKennet

Ok, this is seriously amazing. Not only did our Project Assistant, Ciara spot a curled octopus whilst rockpooling by Menai Bridge, Anglesey, but she also managed to capture it changing colour! 🐙

Check out some great facts about octopuses here:

Great to be out on a pre-emptive early morning site walkover of the River Derwent in Cumbria. Lots of fly life about even at 8am! this is one our favourite times of the year when life abounds on our rivers!

[Cain Bio-Engineering @CainBio]

Our multi-stage project on the Anton is looking fantastic. Images of last years effort (upstream) with one year of settling in and view downstream of new channel at completion ahead of this years fishing season. #riverrestoration #builditandtheywillcome

#ChalkStream #anglers 👇👀

In this month's edition of Trout and Salmon magazine, @TheJimMurray and I discuss uncomfortable truths about chalk stream fly fishing.

Anglers must embrace a wilder experience in order to save the ecology that so thanklessly hosts their sport 🌱🐟

The cultural hub to go alongside river habitat improvements is a welcome investment to Andover Town centre and the #river Anton

[Test Valley BC @TestValleyBC]

We have been awarded £18.3m from the government’s Levelling Up Fund (LUF), to build a new theatre and cultural hub in the heart of the town!

The new venue will replace The Lights with a larger theatre and space for cultural and creative activities.
