The valley has a history of significant flood events. Following extreme floods in 2008 and 2009, the Tweed Forum (through the Cheviot Futures initiative) began to look at more natural ways to tackle coarse sediment problems and manage flood risk. Measures such as bank protection engineered log jams (ELJs), bar apex ELJs and flow restrictors have been installed in the catchment. Alongside this, large areas of trees have been planted on the floodplains of the catchment coupled with pockets of upland planting. Over the 4-year period of monitoring, 78 leaky barrier structures have been installed to capture and stabilise sediment and attenuate flows. A total of 53ha of native riparian and floodplain forest have been planted.
