Following the drop in:90% understood why we are doing MORPH quite well or very well91% feel that restoration of the river & floodplain is the right thing to do1-1 engagement is now taking place at site specific locations
Natural Rivers
Use of social media and shared communications platform

“Collaborative working isn’t rocket science……
…..it’s much harder than that”
