River restoration is working with nature for nature. By restoring natural conditions, river restoration improves the resilience of the river systems, and allows habitats to evolve and sustain themselves without maintenance. Restoring the natural state and functioning of river systems supports biodiversity, recreation, flood management, landscape development, and ecosystem services.
We help solve complex environmental challenges to reduce or eliminate risks in order to protect the natural environment. Our geomorphology and ecology teams have delivered hundreds of projects across the UK and overseas, for regulators, public and private sectors, and academia. We specialise in river restoration by integrating geomorphology, ecology, engineering, and flood management, and by working with natural processes for sustainable development.
