πΌ 1,000 native wildflower plugs are heading to a North Devon farm β grown at our West Devon nursery!
Part of #UpstreamThinking, these wetland plants help improve water quality by filtering runoff before it reaches rivers.

π³ A happy landowner + 700 new trees!
Paul from Launceston received free trees via our #UpstreamThinking project, creating a new hedge to filter water, prevent pollution & welcome wildlife π¦
Funded by @SouthWestWater + trees from @WoodlandTrust πΏ

Our Working Wetlands advisors work directly with landowners on land management techniques to restore wet grassland, preventing water pollution and increasing biodiversity.
This is part of the #UpstreamThinking work funded by South West Water.

Wonderful day today @LongsandsNews. Staff were working hard analysing the year 11 & 13 Mock Data, closing down sprint 1 and developing sprint 2 to our second set of mocks. #upstreamthinking #68daystogo
DWT's #UpstreamThinking team have been busy growing a variety of native plug plants from seed collected across Devon. This includes wetland plants like yellow iris, birds-foot trefoil, devil's bit scabious, corky-fruited water dropwort and ragged robin. [1/2]

DWT's #UpstreamThinking team spotted this chrysalis whilst on a marsh fritillary training day on #Dartmoor. By understanding their life cycle and networking with other land advisors, our team can help landowners create more habitats for these rare butterflies.

DWT's #UpstreamThinking team recently visited @DartmoorShep, using a 'soil dibber' to look at the contents and structure of the soil. Samples will show how #RegenerativeFarming techniques might improve soil health, increase biodiversity and lock up more carbon!
@SouthWestWater
Becca from DWT's #UpstreamThinking team was sampling soils when she noticed this furry visitor.
Soil sampling can help landowners find out how to manage healthy soils, including for beneficial microorganism and insects, providing food for animals like foxes!
@SouthWestWater
Scrapes are shallow ponds, less than 1m in depth, which hold rain or flood water seasonally but stay damp for most of the year. These were made by DWT's #UpstreamThinking team as part of their #NaturalFloodManagement work.

A lovely area of past peatland restoration, holding back water in the upland landscape and filling with peat-forming sphagnum mosses.

DWT's #UpstreamThinking team have been looking at opportunities to slow water flow on Dartmoor, where breaches in a leat have led to exposure of peat. By building leaky dams and scrapes, the cascading water will be slowed, protecting the bog and its wildlife.

At @SWinnovationexp, Paul has been chatting with Dr Diego Panici, Civil & Environmental Engineer @CREWW_uk, & Carolyn Cadman, Director of Natural Resources @SouthWestWater, about rethinking our relationship with water, incl. #naturebasedsolutions & #upstreamthinking! #SWIE2024
We're teaming up with the Woodland Trust and Devon Wildlife Trust to plant 40,000+ native trees in Devon's river catchments. These trees, like blackthorn, hazel, and oak, improve water quality, soil stability, and biodiversity.

DWT's #UpstreamThinking team spent a rare, dry day helping a landowner plant 600 trees near Buckfastleigh. The area enjoys regular bat visitors which use hedges for food, shelter and orientation, so this new hedge is a great addition!

DWT's #UpstreamThinking team were removing some beech trees to increase light levels when they discovered this pattern, believed to be a result of water stress.
Re-wetting the area and reducing shading helps create wetland habitats, reducing downstream flooding.

Some recent snaps from our work making a positive difference to the future of SW peatlands. Thanks as always to our funders

and the support of many other vital partners.
DWT's #UpstreamThinking team have been busy clearing gorse from spreading onto rare Culm grassland near the River Tamar. By creating a scallop-shaped clearing in the gorse, it provides sunny, sheltered areas for wildlife like butterflies.

Great to see our #UpstreamThinking team & the @duchyofcornwall, planting a new 370m hedgerow with 2000 trees,but also trialing the local wool mulch as a means of protection against drought - integrated solutions
@southwestwater
DWT's #UpstreamThinking team have been helping create leaky dams at @NationalTrust Arlington Court, so the woodland can hold more water.
During periods of heavy rain, these areas provide #NaturalSolutions to reduce flooding and improve water quality downstream.
@SouthWestWater
DWT's #UpstreamThinking team have been sorting more than 40,000 trees for delivery. 60 farms across 8 river catchments will receive native trees, provided by @WoodlandTrust. These trees will help reduce soil run-off & provide wildlife habitat!
