In August 2025, our Estate Team at the Woodland Trust began work on one of the largest rewetting efforts we have ever undertaken in the South West. The aim is to re-establish the connection between Tor Brook and its historic floodplain, and in doing so, to create around two hectares of new wetland habitat. The interventions themselves are carefully planned and implemented: leaky dams of logs and branches, woody debris placed strategically in the channel, deflectors to redirect water, and lowered banks to let the brook spill sideways instead of racing forward.
