Приєднався 21 жов 2013
Eden is a unique and beautiful network of rivers, becks and lakes in Cumbria, stretching 80 miles from Hellgill Force to the Solway Firth.
Covering an impressive 850 square miles, it is the lifeblood of the area and it is under threat.
Eden Rivers Trust is the conservation charity standing up for Eden's rivers; changing perceptions, enhancing and protecting the river environment so that people and wildlife in Cumbria can thrive.
We work in partnership with organisations and local communities, changing the conversation and inspiring and empowering others to breathe new life into our rivers. Together, we’re finding better ways to ensure the Eden can support a brighter future for all.
We’re rethinking Eden’s rivers for good.

Taken in May, this shows what the plant looks like when it's growing, before the flowers appear.

The exploding Himalayan balsam seed pod
Переглядів 775 місяців тому
So how do invasive non-native Himalayan balsam plants manage to spread so far? Well, each plant has up to 800 seeds, and in late Summer/early Autumn, the seed pods explode, shooting the seeds up to 7m away! They can float down rivers before lodging in a muddy riverbank ready to overtake a new area. Also easily spread by humans and animals on fur, in grooves of boots and on clothing. Stop the sp...

Bringing back water voles to the Lake District - summer 2023
Переглядів 52010 місяців тому
Once a common sight in our rivers, water voles have vanished from the Lake District. In a bid to re-establish this small, yet vital part of the ecosystem, environmental organisations and landowners have joined forces to create the habitat conditions needed to bring back this much-loved creature to Cumbria. So, last summer, we re-introduced 365 water voles to the Lake District, working with part...

River restoration and natural flood management programme at Townfoot
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
In late 2019, we conducted a walkover of Townfoot Farm (near Cumrew) and found a 230m stretch of highly straightened and canalised river between areas of naturally meandering sections of river with woodland cover and in-stream woody debris. Further research of OS maps and LiDAR data showed the old parish boundary in the area as a curving / wiggly line - a good indication of where the river used...

Nice to see the ERT youtube page getting some content this year :D
How many lampreys you see on the river
We don't often see them swimming along like this - see more of them when we do fish rescues!
Very nice trip. Thankyou.
Were there native wetland plants planted up too…?…. Or just left to re-wild itself naturally ..?
We mainly left it to re-wild itself naturally
Any native aspen planted..?….
Good question - I've had a look back at the files and can't find anything that confirms the native species we planted at this site, sorry ... but we'll know when we next go back!
Great video. What’s with the awful music though?!
Awesome. Brings back memories- swam in the river in Wetheral many times. Gods country.
Please plant trees
We have! At least 100 trees have been planted on either side of the meandered beck, should be growing nicely now.
I hope there are some that are suitable for beaver - they will help with your mission!
I must say I applaud the effort and intentions, the drone footage does rather give away the fact that this to is a man made course hopefully time and erosion will improve things.
Preist den Herrn YHWH für das was wir hier sehen, Amen. Danke für dieses Video!!
Great job and great to see. Let’s hope there is no Chicken farms in the catchment area.
Why choose this music? A final mission boss battle?
Reassuring and pleasing to see this work to enhance the Eden watershed and environment
Wonderful geomorphology and river system flowing through rich history and geology.Contrasts from upland to lowland are striking . Views of Northern England amongst our finest Rivers evoke emotion and ..the temptation of salmon trout otters liked the view at Wetheral Simon Artley Simon Artley
Very useful and effective work for the environment and biodiversity .It will be interesting to see if there might be more trout and yes perhaps salmon spawning Simon Artley Manchester
You mean draining the water table quick assists fish ?
I agree with you about leaky weirs upstream Border Reiver but removing this obstruction aids the migration of fish and the conditions for them to lay their eggs in the gravels formed by a free flowing river
Any update to see how the restoration settled down? I’d love to see. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾
Another good news story. Bob
Really appreciate the follow up pictures. Excellent work
Amazing 👍
Love this video too much, cannot wait for your next video! Thanks!
Be nice to see a map included in the video to identify where this is
Were rapids removed years ago from the river? Say to make it more navigable? Thanks.
wonderful video
Misleading title was expecting the whole Eden route and we end up in the bloody lakes .
Nay lad that were the estuary and Wetheral
Could anyone ID the music used please?
Pity upper Eden like Appleby was missed.
... and what effect did that have on flooding down stream? ... this is a mistaken program ... if anything more weirs (leaky weirs) need to be built all the way up to the watershed to stop catastrophic flooding downstream ... the theory is simple as anyone who understands open channel hydraulics will tell you ...
REMOVE ALL dams and Weirs completely
@@petenikolic5244 what is the reason why drain the water table why not help the fish get over the wier like they have done before at less cost ?
Fenced off rivers also makes it hard for anglers to get access to the river, why don't you put more styles in when fencing off ????
We need to take out more of these weirs that no longer serve a purpose.
