A first glimpse of our wetland inhabitants…

Earlier this year, our friends at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) installed a very exciting, high-tech piece of equipment to monitor the wildlife visiting the River of Life II floodplain area. While the data is still being recorded and analysed, the trap camera has already caught some great shots of the wildlife enjoying the new landscape. Can you identify them all?

  • An ecological study of the new wetland inhabitants

    We’ll soon be able to find out exactly what wildlife has been enjoying our new wetland habitat with an ecological study into returning species, their numbers and habits, to better understand the impact of the changes in biodiversity and ‘re-wilding’ of features.

  • Wetland carbon capture: learnings from River of Life II

    The next phase of our River of Life II project is exploring how the new wetlands we have created on River Thames can sequester carbon.

  • Great crested newts at Earth Trust

    Earth Trust Farm is home to one of the largest and most significant populations of great crested newts in the UK.
