The dedication of	our volunteers translates into thousands of pounds of "in-kind" value and	our volunteers translates into thousands of pounds of "in-kind" value and
miles of restored riverbank. While the passion is priceless, the data shows just how much we

		prevents bank erosion.
Invasive	49 sessions	Prevents aggressive species from
plants	removing/destroying	clogging water flow, depleting
removed	invasive plants from	oxygen levels, and outcompeting the
	waterways	native vegetation that stabilises
		banks and supports aquatic life.
Willow Spiling	30m of riverbank stabilised	Natural protection that grows
		stronger over time.
Total	106 volunteers provided	We couldn't do our work without
