Four rivers for LIFE, LIFE, River restoration, wood, floodplain reconnection, National Trust, Ty Mawr Farm

A river habitat restoration scheme has been completed on the River Usk to renaturalise the river and reconnect it to its natural floodplain.

The scheme focussed on a stretch of the River Tarell, an important tributary of the River Usk SAC (Special Area of Conservation), and aimed to restore the river’s natural processes by re-introducing wood into the river channel.

Led by the Natural Resources Wales (NRW) Four Rivers for LIFE project and the River Restoration Centre (RRC) – the scheme is part of a wider nature restoration project by the National Trust at their site.
