The initiative has worked on a catchment wide riparian audit and has delivered a range of riparian enhancement and natural flood management projects. It is using these sites to educate and raise awareness of good practice and to engage with the land management community in holistic approaches to catchment management and development. The initiative is also undertaking a catchment wide study of natural river processes to better understand how the whole river system works.
