About

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to cbec UK eco-engineering for a feasibility study into restoration options on the River Derwent and Stonethwaite Beck in Borrowdale, Keswick, Cumbria.

The study was initiated following land management changes identified by the National Trust, which sought to adopt sustainable land management practices and enable natural processes on its land.

The preliminary assessment found that the two watercourses are straightened and significantly perched above the floodplain, which is predominantly pastoral land defended by flood levees.

The study aimed to explore opportunities to restore fluvial processes by returning the rivers to their natural course and re-engaging them with the floodplain, supporting a healthy, diverse ecosystem.

The contract value was AUD 24,779.
