The River Eden is of international importance for its wildlife and is designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). It supports many significant species including white-clawed crayfish, salmon, trout, eel, bullhead, lamprey, otter, water vole, invertebrates of river shingle and water crowfoot. The Eden is the best remaining stronghold of the endangered white-clawed crayfish, which is threatened and declining across the UK and Western Europe.<br /> The Eden catchment comprises 98 water bodies. Under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) classification 59% of these fail to achieve Good Ecological Status and none of them are in “high” condition.<br /> Problems within the Eden are due to agriculture, sewage, septic tanks, urbanisation, invasive species and poor quality habitats along and within rivers.<br /> The project will restore more natural features in and around rivers and reduce the impact of diffuse pollution arising from agriculture. It aims to protect and expand populations of white-clawed crayfish as well as those of other valued river species. This will be achieved by installing riverside fencing (20 km), planting riverside trees (6,000), producing 20 farm assessments in areas of crayfish populations, carrying out improvement work on 20 farms to reduce diffuse pollution and carrying out in-stream habitat improvements at 5 locations.<br /> |Monitoring surveys and results=Annual juvenile salmonid electro-fishing surveys - see Eden Rivers Trust website for published reports.<br /> Annual white-clawed crayfish manual hand search surveys - see Eden Rivers Trust website for published reports.<br /> Fixed point photography monitoring of river habitat improvement projects (on-going - see examples under Monitoring below).<br /> Repeated individual farm assessments with advice on reducing diffuse pollution, including farm infra-structure improvements where applicable (confidential to the land owner/tenant). A proportion will be reassessed at the end of the project.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Eden Cathcment.JPG<br /> |Caption=Eden Catchment - ecological status<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Crayfish.JPG<br /> |Caption=River Eden white-clawed crayfish Copyright LindaPitkin/2020Vision<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Birdby pasture pump Mar2013 4.JPG<br /> |Caption=River Lyvennet fencing and tree plantinig<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Lucy and Alison crayfishing R Lyvennet Aug 2011.JPG<br /> |Caption=Crayfish surveying River Eden catchment<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Joanne Backshall crayfish surveying.jpg<br /> |Caption=Crayfish surveying River Eden catchment<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Croglin Site 20 Laura Mallinson, Becky Thompson, Dave Greaves pic2.JPG<br /> |Caption=Volunteers crayfish surveying River Eden catchment<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=DSCF0458.JPG<br /> |Caption=Crayfish survey training day 2013 River Eden catchment<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Croglin Water fencing 5.JPG<br /> |Caption=Riverside fencing and tree planting on Croglin Water, River Eden catchment<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Main weir before timelapse pic.JPG<br /> |Caption=Morland Beck weir before removal<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Main weir after timelapse pic.JPG<br /> |Caption=Morland Beck weir after removal<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=LPI 110912 0005small.jpg<br /> |Caption=River Eden white-clawed crayfish Copyright LindaPitking/2020Vision<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Bolton Willows 15 Sept 019 SJohnson.jpg<br /> |Caption=River Eden at Bolton Willows near Penrith in Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Dipper on River Eden at Kirkby Stephen - John Stock 2009.JPG<br /> |Caption=Dipper on River Eden at Kirkby Stephen<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Morland Beck main weir removal 12Aug2013 36.JPG<br /> |Caption=Morland Beck weir removal<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Croglin Water fencing 1.jpg<br /> |Caption=Riverside fencing on Croglin Water, River Eden catchment<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Crake Trees general shot1 21Mar13.JPG<br /> |Caption=Fencing and tree planting project on Howe Beck in the River Eden catchment<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Crake Trees monitoring1 21Mar13.JPG<br /> |Caption=Newly created sediment pond on Howe Beck in the River Eden catchment<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=River Eden (lower)<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=Rivers Leith, Lyvennet, Lowther, Hoff and Helm Becks, Croglin Water and Hayber Beck<br /> |WFD water body code=GB102076070900, GB102076070870, GB102076070830, GB102076070820, GB102076070710, GB102076070690, GB102076071010, GB102076070720, GB102076073830, GB102076073860, GB102076073850, GB102076070750<br /> |WFD water body name=Rivers Leith, Lyvennet, Lowther, Hoff and Helm Becks, Croglin Water and Hayber Beck<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Site designation=EU - Special Area of Conservation<br /> |Protected species present=Yes<br /> |Invasive species present=Yes<br /> |Species=Atlantic salmon, brown trout, white-clawed crayfish, brook lamprey, sea lamprey, river lamprey, otter, eel, water crowfoot<br /> |River corridor land use=Intensive agriculture (arable, dairy cattle, beef cattle and sheep)<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Project started=2012/07/20<br /> |Total cost category=500 - 1000 k€<br /> |Total1 cost=550<br /> |Funding sources=Defra<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Agriculture, Urbanisation, Sewage, Invasive species<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Floodplain / River corridor=Planting, Installing riverside fencing<br /> |Other technical measure=producing 20 farm assessments in areas of crayfish populations, carrying out improvement work on 20 farms to reduce diffuse pollution;

It aims to return rivers in the Eden catchment to a more natural state for the benefit of wildlife and people. It was developed as a remedy for the unfavourable condition of large parts of the River Eden and Tributaries Site of Special Scientific Interest.<br /> <br /> On the River Lyvennet and Howe Beck at Barnskew and Meaburn Hall, Maulds Meaburn the rivers were restored to their original winding channels with approximately 1500 m of straightened river now meandering through nearly 1900 m. The project was undertaken in 2014 and an estimated 11,000 cubic metres of soil weighing approximately 15,000 metric tonnes was excavated. Very soon after the Lyvennet was diverted into its new channel, salmon were seen spawning in the river where they had not been seen spawning before. The site is a demonstrations of river restoration techniques and the many benefits this approach can bring to wildlife and people.<br /> |Monitoring surveys and results=- Pre-restoration aerial and ground survey undertaken - to be repeated summer 2015.<br /> - Fixed point photographs.<br /> - Further geomorphological surveys also on-going.<br /> |Lessons learn=The River Restoration Centre conducted an evaluation of this and other Cumbria River Restoration Strategy projects during 2015 and the report of their findings is available on the RRC website.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Remeandered Lyvennet Maulds Meaburn Jan15.jpg<br /> |Caption=Re-meandered River Lyvennet at Maulds Meaburn, Penrith, Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Remeandered Howe Beck Maulds Meaburn Jan15.jpg<br /> |Caption=Re-meandered Howe Beck at Maulds Meaburn, Penrith, Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=LyvennetFeb16b.JPG<br /> |Caption=Re-meandered River Lyvennet at Maulds Meaburn, Penrith, Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Howe BeckFPP10a 5Feb15.JPG<br /> |Caption=Re-meandered Howe Beck at Maulds Meaburn, Penrith, Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Howe BeckFPP7a 5Feb15.JPG<br /> |Caption=Re-meandered Howe Beck at Maulds Meaburn, Penrith, Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Howe BeckFPP6a 5Feb15.JPG<br /> |Caption=Re-meandered Howe Beck at Maulds Meaburn, Penrith, Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=20a.JPG<br /> |Caption=Re-meandered River Lyvennet at Maulds Meaburn, Penrith, Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=19b.JPG<br /> |Caption=Re-meandered River Lyvennet at Maulds Meaburn, Penrith, Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=18.JPG<br /> |Caption=Re-meandered River Lyvennet at Maulds Meaburn, Penrith, Cumbria<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=River Lyvennet<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=Maulds Meaburn<br /> |WFD water body code=GB102076070840<br /> |WFD (national) typology=Calcareous, <br /> |WFD water body name=River Lyvennet<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background}}<br /> {{Motivations}}<br /> {{Measures}}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>
