River straightened in the 1800s gets its natural wiggle back after 100 years

The River Kemp in England, which was straightened in the 1800s by landowners, has been restored to its natural meandering path after a 18-month project. This restoration effort, led by the Severn Rivers Trust and involving local landowners and environmental groups, aims to revive the river's ecosystem and reduce downstream flooding. By allowing the river to flow naturally, the project enables the river to slow down, spill into wetlands, and support biodiversity, including endangered species like the freshwater pearl mussel. The restored area is expected to attract various wildlife such as insects, fish, wildflowers, and wading birds over time.
