Most works had to be completed by hand. Some work was carried out by amphibious excavator where the benefits outweighed the potential damage to the gravel bed from the excavator tracks. Additional tree works were required due to periods of high winds and the need to make the area safe for construction work to be carried out. Re-profiled river banks with bare soil were exposed during high flows and could have lead to erosion and sediment input. Seeding and the installation of a biodegradable jute matting was carried out to minimise erosion. (This had not been anticipated in the design. Ideally work would be carried out early enough to allow bank vegetation to re-establish from the existing seed bank.) 52.724991033395,1.1195729929763 Amy.butcher Amy Environment Agency Butcher Bank reprofiling, Bank stabilisation, Bed reprofiling,,Tree management,,Brushwood berms to increase scour on the gravels, Introducing large woody debris, ,,, Analysis of monitoring results pending. 26130 Natural England LenwadeRiverBedWorks.JPG Complete Reach 10 of the River Wensum Restoration Strategy involved restoring 1.3km of SSSI & SAC designated river at Lenwade, west of Norwich, Norfolk. Improvements to morphological diversity were achieved here through the installation of woody material features, bank stabilisation, hinging willow trees and re-engineering the existing gravel bed to create riffles and pools. Selective tree felling also took place to allow light into a heavily shaded area of the channel.
