Great day yesterday pulling together initial river & floodplain restoration proposals at a @TheTrentValley site near Walton-on-Trent.

[High Sheriff of Staffordshire @HSStaffs]

After the Trent Valley Way walk from Kings Bromley, it was an honour to meet some of the hardworking @TheTrentValley #volunteers at the #ThanksToYou cream tea @Nat_Mem_Arb. Delighted to present Certificates in recognition of their invaluable contribution @StaffsWildlife

[Victoria Bunter @VictoriaBunter]

It was a privilege to be able to introduce the High Sheriff @HSStaffs to our proposals to enhance the floodplain habitats at Riverside Park, Rugeley Power Station, and create a better environment for people and wildlife @ENGIE_UK @TheTrentValley @StaffsWildlife

[High Sheriff of Staffordshire @HSStaffs]

Meeting with @ENGIE_UK's @ChrisJLangdon and Chris Riches, and @StaffsWildlife's @VictoriaBunter, seeing their work creating a new Country Park alongside the River Trent on the site of #RugeleyPowerStation to restore the floodplain and improve biodiversity.
With @TheTrentValley

[Nick Mott @NickMott7]

Silt lagoons were identified as Biodiversity Hotspots in the #CentralRivers & @TheTrentValley natural heritage audits. @StaffsWildlife worked on the @Nat_Mem_Arb Master Plan to ensure that Juntion Pit Lagoon would be a nature reserve & a quiet place of reflection for visitors.

Little wonder our wildlife has no chance when we consider this an acceptable state for our rivers in the UK!!! Re-naturalise NOW.

[Julian Woolford @StaffsWTChief]

Extraordinary moment as Rugeley Power Station's cooling towers demolished. New era, new low carbon 2,300 house development & 27 hect. nature reserve with river, woodland & grassland restoration with @StaffsWildlife. More than 20% net gain for wildlife @ENGIE_UK 😃

[Dynamic Rivers @Dynamic_Rivers]

Two highly contrasting reaches of the same river, the engineered and managed one on the left adds to downstream flood risk, the naturalising channel reduces it.

Otter resting habitat along the Trent south of Burton-on-Trent and the evidence that they are using these areas! @TheTrentValley @StaffsWildlife #EuropeanOtter #RiverTrent
