Am I the only person to think the New Forest natural regeneration doesn't look good, There seem to be a lot of old trees but where are the younger trees, overgrazing?

I find this type of one-sided video simplistic and even patronising. Every change in the physical environment has pros and cons, and where human settlements are involved, winners and losers. Why not present a more mature, honest and balanced analysis, as this smacks of one-sided propaganda.

beautiful drone pictures, I live near by and love how the river is meandering again, although we have seen an increase in flash flooding, this is probably due to climate change.

It annoys me how deleterious the Industrial Revolution was to UK's environment.

I wish NZ posted more educational videos like this. It just dont hit learning about generic european ecosystems and tryna apply that knowledge to NZ. Europe is so barren compared to my country no offence😭 in Aotearoa we call that degraded and lacking vegetation and birdlife

So, so heartening to se Britain's rivers coming back to life & seeing ordinary everyday people taking an interest in the environment & getting stuck in a sort of WW 2 sort of way, coming together to acheave common goal, now that is bloody British, the old school bloody British.

Cumbria, God's country👍

So im planning on doing a kayak journey up through the tame and into kingsbury waterpark i have my river licence juat wanted too know if anyone knows about where i can and cant paddle

Great work!

Seven years later, is there a brief follow up?

You thanked Thames Water??? They biologically killed a stretch of the Wandle in 2007 below Beddington Sewage Works. "Chlorine from sewage works wiped out decades of restoration to turn chalk stream into a popular fishery in one day, says EA". They were fined £125k

A most worthy project, thankyou to all involved in restoring this beautiful Surrey Chalk Stream.

Downed woody debris is a vanguard to woody debris delivery, stretches across mediums or partly submerged slow water's toil, as the flood channel resists such change as adeptly as water facilitates all local Biota.

Ode to the Hollyhawks, Alcea family, tall, elegant, columns of magnificent blooms, exotic perfumes of which I learn not to Foresake, evidentually local and endemic, do not panic as it is Organic, you know we have one here Native to North America so we can co-celebrate as we orient to Native Flora and Fauna to encourage the natural biota to continue and recheck Our Facultative Processes from headwater's to the Sea, alluvial bedload delliveries from alluvial recharge of Freshwater Aquatic Ecosystems.

Think Old World, think Alcea Family of malevolent, magnificent , flowering stages offering their productivity, fruitfulness, Riparian propensities to seed, germinate and take root as they offer their beneficial services as Native Species evolved from these spectacular Origins.

The seeds, nuts, nutrients, and labors of this unique pouched mammal highly and symbolically attached to its mother bears the responsibilities to defecate, as well as transport, consume, digest or not, then add to nutrient fixing, seeds, nuts, stomach remains as though transmitting the plant Species to spread their seed locally, viably, as monitors or dynamic functional Species Key to Diversity and Enrichment.

Sloths in South America drink water, travel over the canopy, harvesting the local and native fruits, nuts, berries, in the symbiotic relationship delivers and fosters the nutrient functions of yearly cyclic deliveries with and of freshwater in amounts and force to move bedloads, instream alluvial processes and dynamic driving forces interacting with the Marine conditions, salinity levels, lower reaches of the river from the headwater's to the Sea continuity in river morphology.

I am reaching out to all, please we have property investors now trying to prevent locals walking and now rapidly blocking access to river Sdur walks Please help those living on river Adur to stop our beautiful nature from being compromised due to commercial land owners. It's going on fast between cuckoo's corner to the flyover. Thank you for your support we just want folk to appreciate by walking regular this stretch of the Adur help support our standing of walking rights to the land. God bless ❤️

Beavers will help, probably planting some aspen tress would as well. As for over grazing, need an apex predator to sort that, wolf or lynx or both.

What I do not get is why replace those deflectors and not put the new stuff on top of it. For additional structure..

cool

The biggest shame is that in the 80's Anglian Water started extracting a third of the summer flow from Costessey to meet the growing demand for water as Norwich expanded. They were considering taking water from the edge of the city, but were concerned about contamination from the old May & Baker site. The river downstream of Costessey is now a shadow of its former self. As demand grows, presumably they'll apply to extract more and more water until it becomes slower and slower.

His eyes too close together...

What is happening here?

What about the bank collapse that occurs in those bends after a flood? And all that dirt goes off to the oceans.

When we look below the surface we see the New Forest is a horrifically over grazed and deforested landscape with poor quality manmade watercourses. It is so great to see some positive steps to help fix this, although with the overgrazing and 'rights' of common grazing, my aspirations are unfortunately very low.

Great to see this happening. Well done to everyone involved.

England is such a beautiful place! Beyond thrilled to see the hard work you're doing to restore your country's natural beauty!!

Bring on the Beavers.

Fantastic work. That makes me so happy. 😊😊

It’s a start.

fantastic

It all comes down to gathering enough selling points for property owners/municipalities to jump onboard. Flood prevention may be desirable to insurance companies while the Tourism board would benefit from improved biodiversity,

Excellent work here! Does anyone have any ideas to include introducing beavers 🦫 & wild boars 🐗 to assist & compliment these wonderful rewilding & conservation efforts now going on in areas of the New Forest & surrounding areas? It would be a prime draw for eco-tourism right on Bournemouth’s doorstep?!!!

brilliant work

Impressive

Great work guys...... It's pity other clubs wouldn't take the same approach and save the wild Salmon. 👍

Any gold panning?!?!

Very cool

A very worthy project to sustain natural indigenous species in an increasingly alien invasive species of flora and fauna throughout Britain. Is the Wensum the only chalk stream in East Anglia? Let us hope the Killer Shrimps, Signal Crayfish and Himalayan Balsam never infest this beautiful river.

Well done. I was a kid when l saw mountains of foam floating past Merton Board Mills

This looks amazing! Well done. :-)

bravo!!!!!

Very helpful, great

Nice

Let's hope salmon can return

Is this is an area accessible to the public?

Fingers crossed they will be allowed to stick around!
