The Bow Brook Project was a pilot scheme for Worcestershire Wildlife Trust. For the first time we worked at a whole catchment scale to develop an effective, efficient and robust approach to delivering better water quality and more wetland habitat.

The Duck Brook restoration is an exciting project in the heart of Worcester City. In Spring 2020, the brook was given a new lease of life by Worcester City Council, who worked with the Environment Agency to improve the channel and surrounding habitat for wildlife and flood management. Natural Networks provided advice and funding towards the biodiversity outcomes of this important scheme.

One of our first projects, the restoration of a stretch of the Churchill Brook, is a fantastic example of Natural Networks helping to deliver great biodiversity enhancement in combination with other public benefits.

In January 2023, North Worcestershire Water Management received a grant from Natural Networks for habitat improvements along the Millennium Way in Catshill.
