This year we celebrated ten years of incredible work in creating a climate resilient landscape for both people and wildlife. Easing of restrictions from the C19 pandemic meant we were able we were able to deliver a significant amount of  Natural Flood Management across the Ouse Catchment this year. 

A few highlights from 2021/22:
  • Including land that we advised on, SFI influenced approximately >3,300 hectares of land, which is 5% of whole catchment.
  • 19,650 native shrubs/trees as cross-slope hedgerows (3,745m) and floodplain woodland (0.14 ha).
  • We constructed 286 leaky dams across the catchment slowing and storing approximately 286,000 L of water every flood event.
  • Based on Natural England figures the trees and hedgerows planted will be sequestrating 178.08  tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent per year.
  • PLUS many more achievements!  These are detailed in the report linked below.

The above is just a selection of the work undertaken in 2021/22, the full annual report and the summary report go into great detail on what has been achieved and its impact.

Thank you to all our landowners, volunteers and partner organisation for their support in a challenging year for all.
