Ensure you have the necessary permissions to survey for them and where necessary relocate from the project site. This project also planned to install a rock ramp on a weir downstream, but this could not be taken forward due to site access during Covid. 52.902901421478,-0.62897511454723 Gail East Mercia Rivers Trust Hutchinson Day lighting and addition of woody material to form narrowing berms,, ,,Volunteer work parties using the local community., Visual inspections and photographs of changes.

Dysart established.jpg 2020-01-09Z 2458857.5 Complete The Upper Witham is the ground water fed headwaters of the Witham supporting important species including Native Crayfish and Brown Trout. Historic changes to the river for milling and land drainage have however degraded habitat especially in urban areas such as Grantham. The project aimed to restore habitat in an over widened, shaded section of river running alongside a public park in the town. This was done by hinging trees to form berms which helped to narrow the channel and provide lighter. As well as benefiting the habitat, this made the river more visible to near-by residents and park users. This work reduced the need for EA maintenance of the trees in this section of river.
