Restoring nature for all
We visit a major project in the north of England's Lake District that is restoring a damaged landscape, including 're-wiggling' rivers and repairing peat bogs.
Myra Anubi visits a major project in the north of England that鈥檚 restoring a damaged landscape. Haweswater in the Lake District is an area of stunning natural beauty but over the years it鈥檚 been degraded by humans and livestock. This has created flood risks and reduced biodiversity. But now work is underway to restore the site to benefit both people and the environment. Rivers have been 鈥榬ewiggled鈥�, peat bogs repaired, and new trees planted. Myra also visits an innovative scheme in the area that鈥檚 using old Christmas trees to repair damaged river banks.
