Following #stormeunice, many will be met with scenes like this today. Despite it’s impact, this is natural and what has helped carve our countryside and waterways, and exactly why we try to embrace every side to nature. This fallen tree resulted in a breach to the River Test. @naturalengland felt it best to repair the breach and brought us in to support. Instead of removing the debris, we recycled the fallen trunk and surrounding material to repair and recreate the river bank, mimicking the previous natural water course. The upturned root ball was also left as an important habitat addition. Leaving the breach could have also created a natural wetland in the adjoining meadows, and shows the variety of ways that natural events can be embraced. #nature #rivertest #riverrestoration #naturalengland

We’re fortunate enough to work in some truly beautiful places, and East Lodge on the River Itchen is one of those. The view never ceases to amaze us, and this mornings frost didn’t disappoint. We’ve been working with the site for a number of years now, improving the biodiversity and fishing habitats of the site. Our latest project has been creating a new stock fish pond, regarded banks, as well as installing a secure Otter fence to protect the stock. #riveritchen #itchen #chalkstream #flyfishing #mayfly #ukflyfishing #englishrivers #hampshire #visitengland #england #wildtrout #englishcountryside #eastlodgefishing #browntroutflyfishing #catchandrelease #chalkstreamtrout #EastLodgeFishing #Itchen #RiverItchen #VisitHampshire #FlyFishing #Fishing #BrownTrout #FlyFishingNation

Can you guess what this is? This is a well disguised Kingfisher nest that we’ve built this week on the river Test in Overton Hampshire. With a passion for biodiversity we love deploying innovative solutions like this. Sometimes utilising and embracing the man made structures that can’t be avoided are the best way to encourage and support a rich ecosystem. #nature #saveourrivers #rivertest #hampshirerivers #kingfisher #birds #lovewildlife
