North Somerset Levels and Moors Restoration Project
Our work on the North Somerset Levels and Moors is helping to restore a rare and valuable wetland habitat near to the Severn Estuary. Semi-aquatic plants on the moorland, wildflower meadows on the ridges and ancient woodlands all make up this beautiful and special landscape, and a range of birds, plants and invertebrates all depend on this landscape to thrive. We are working with partners Natural England, the Environment Agency, the Internal Drainage Board and North Somerset Council as well as our funders, Wessex Water, to improve this unique landscape for wildlife.
