Woody Material in Rivers
Woody material is a vital component of healthy rivers. Listen to Gareth Pedley from the Wild Trout Trust as he explains how wood and tree trunks that rest in the river provide habitat and food for fish and invertebrates as well as bank protection. The material also helps regulate sediment transport.
Large woody material can be fixed in place so there is little risk of it washing away in a flood and trees can be hinged into place, a technique often used by organisations like the Wild Trout Trust. Trees planted along a riverbank also provide shade for fish in hot conditions when water temperatures can get dangerously high for fish.
