A report on 12 years of research on the impacts of re-vegetation
A detailed report was written in 2016. You can find links to the report and its 5 annexes at the bottom of this page.
The report explains the results of these surveys. It details the changes to vegetation over time as a result of our work, as well as the knock on effects of this work in regard to outcomes such as the flow of water during a storm event, the water quality flowing from the sites, water table heights and sediment accumulation.
The research found that:
