In 2020 we commissioned a specialist analysis of the chalk streams in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire in partnership with Cambridge City Council.
Specialists from The Wild Trout Trust and The Wildlife Trust Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire assessed the health of these internationally rare chalk streams, which provide habitats for many significant species, such as brown trout and water vole. Following the assessment, they provided a programme of actions for local groups and stakeholders to fund and implement in partnership.
The River Mel project received a grant from our PEBBLE fund to carry out some remedial works and put back the natural features, to help the biodiversity of the stream.
Here's Rob from The Wild Trout Trust to tell you more.
