Issue details

As part of the Enfield Chase Landscape Restoration project development phase it is proposed to investigate opportunities for landscape restoration measures in rural areas of Enfield across the Salmons Brook and Turkey Brook valleys. This involves working with land managers in parks and farms to evaluate the potential for river naturalisation and reconnection of floodplains, creation of wetlands, and restoration of woodland and grassland habitats with the ambition to reduce downstream flooding, improve water quality, create and improve habitats for wildlife and reconnect people with nature. The project aims to build on existing projects including Enfield Chase Woodland Creation and Salmons Brook Natural Flood Management, as well as explore future opportunities through Defra’s Landscape Recovery Scheme.
