Services
Rivers & Wetlands
Rivers and wetlands in the North East are of huge importance to both biodiversity and flood management, vital with the ever increasing variable weather events. Techniques such as bank protection and leaky dams aid flood management whilst creating habitats such as wader scrapes and ponds mean that wildlife can quickly flourish.
Peatland Restoration
Peatland restoration means restoring this vital habitat to its best possible condition. This often involves re-wetting or reinstating old hydrological regimes, as dried out peatland omits large quantities of CO2. When it is re-wetted it becomes a carbon sink, which in turn helps to control emissions of gases such as carbon dioxide.
Habitat Management
Targeted habitat management seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitats and prevent species extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range. This is vital to maintain the diversity and richness of not only the most important locations but also to protect species living on development sites.
