What a year it has been!! The 5th wettest winter, the wettest February of records, and five named storms. As a result, the impact of our work was seen almost instantly. 

A few highlights from 2019/20:
  • We influenced approximately 437 hectares of land, equivalent to the size of 17,264 tennis courts.
  • We created 142 leaky dams, storing approximately 142,000 litres per flood event.
  • You gave an incredible 342 hours of your time.
  • Based on Natural England figures the trees and hedgerows planted will be storing 20.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent per year, after 1 year of growth.
  • PLUS many more achievements!  These are detailed in the report linked below.

The above is just a selection of the work undertaken in 2019/20, 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, without them we wouldn't be able to have delivered what we have.
