River Restoration Begins at Fuller’s Mill

On 14^th March 2020, 17 members of the RLCP worked on restoring part of the river by Fuller’s Mill, West Stow. They are hoping to return the river to it’s natural shape and width by creating bends and narrowing the river with artificial banks. These are made out of wooden posts which are hammered into the river bed, with branches woven between. Silt will deposit first on the new structure, and then bigger river debris, along with river flora, which will all in time establish the new bank.
