Natural Solutions for Water Purity

Working with nature to improve water and reduce flooding

We’re restoring natural water systems across the Estate to improve quality and reduce flood risk. By introducing measures such as tree planting and natural barriers, we slow the flow of water and reduce erosion.

Working with Fera Science, we’re also monitoring water quality to better understand and tackle pollution at its source – creating healthier rivers for both wildlife and communities downstream.
