Come and join us to discuss the upcoming works we have planned in the Sherbourne through Whitley.

Join the Sherbourne Valley Project team for a community consultation to find out more about the next phase of river restoration planned for the Sherbourne. We'll present the proposed works, explain how they will benefit both wildlife and people, and provide an opportunity to ask questions and share your views before work begins.

Our latest initiative is to install a sequence of brash berms along both banks of the river. These D-shaped structures are made up of bundles of branches, roped down and tethered to posts. Berms narrow the river channel and create in-channel meanders and speed up the flow of water as well as providing valuable habitat.

Whether you're a regular visitor, local resident or simply interested in the future of the river, we'd love to hear your thoughts and see you on the day!

We will have a stall located near the Whitley Abbey Bridge going over the River Sherbourne, which will serve as a meeting hub for people joining us to participate.

This event is organised and lead by Joe Atkinson, River Restoration Officer.
