FREE TREE PLANTING FOR RIVERBANK AREAS

Tree planting and livestock fencing helps reduce poaching of the banks and provides good habitat for wildlife

If you have narrow areas along a riverbank you would like planting to help avoid sheep and cattle accessing the river, poaching the banks and losing your valuable top soil then please get in touch. The Severn Rivers Trust have funding courtesy of the Woodland Trust for planting trees near to rivers in the Leam Catchment.  

Trees provide a fantastic way of keeping topsoil where it should be, they provide shelter for livestock during the summer and during heavy rainfall and they help keep rivers cool, thus providing a valuable habitat for aquatic invertebrates and fish; not to mention the habitat benefits for terrestrial wildlife!!
