The LIFE R4ever Kent project has been quietly working away since late 2021 in beautiful South Cumbria. Natural England is leading in collaboration with Environment Agency, Freshwater Biological Association and South Cumbria Rivers Trust to Revive, Revitalise and Restore the River Kent and Tributaries SSSI and SAC, including a population reinforcement of the critically endangered Freshwater Pearl Mussel from less than 10 individuals to over 3000. Promoting a partnership approach at a landscape scale, the project is proud to announce the release of a short film hoping to capture the scale and breadth of works undertaken to date, and planned for the second half of the project. Like our mussel friends, we haven’t been the loudest or flashiest of creatures, but hopefully we can interest you a little in what we do! Thanks to local videographer Mark Battista for the skillful capturing of the work we are doing. For more information please contact [email protected]
