We are happy to share that our efforts in seagrass restoration have been featured in Water Magazine! The article highlights the scale of just some of the work being done at our Welsh nursery, where we aim to restore lost meadows, critical for marine biodiversity and climate resilience. Thank you to Water Magazine for shining a light on this important work!

Salix has been assisting CAN and BAM UK & Ireland with Network Rail's South West Rail Resilience Programme along the Dawlish Coast. Almost 20,000m2 of steel rock netting and soil nails have been installed to stabilise the cliff, with Salix’s #Coconet800 coir erosion control blanket installed underneath. The #Coconet800 will provide instant erosion protection, whilst supporting vegetation which can colonise the cliff face. Well done to the project and delivery team 👏 #erosioncontrol #rail #geotechnical

Salix are thrilled to share a recent feature from The Guardian highlighting our new, state-of-the-art nursery at Laugharne. This facility is a significant step forward in our commitment to marine and coastal ecosystem restoration. Our Laugharne nursery is not just about seagrass though. It represents a cutting-edge approach to wider native species production, supporting a diverse range of plants crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems. Our innovative facility will enable us to propagate and nurture native species on a scale never before possible, enhancing biodiversity and resilience across all UK environments. Seagrass meadows, for instance, are vital for providing habitats, improving water quality, and sequestering carbon. With our advanced nursery and plans for expansion, we are equipped to expand these benefits significantly, contributing to global climate action and habitat conservation efforts. We are incredibly proud of this development and the positive impact it will have on our environment. This milestone is testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and partners as we continue to innovate and lead in environmental conservation. #Conservation #SeagrassRestoration #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Salix #PendineNursery #Biodiversity #InnovationInConservation https://lnkd.in/evAiP2RY

In need of wetland plants? We've got it covered ☘ Pre-established coir pallets and contain mature native wetland plants, used for habitat creation projects as an essential technique for rapid vegetation establishment in river, lake and stream environments. We plant our coir pallets at a high density of 20 plants per m2 with a wide variety of native species. 2m x 0.5m coir pallets are a great method to kick-start vegetation establishment.

Have some free time this weekend? Join the #BigRiverWatch citizen science initiative with The Rivers Trust. Details below 👇
📣 Do you have 15 minutes this weekend to help our rivers? On your marks, get set, go - the Big River Watch starts now 👀 When it comes to restoring our rivers, we need more information about how they're doing. Twice a year we run Big River Watch weekends, during which we call on everybody to become a citizen scientist and help build a picture of river health across the UK and Ireland. Getting involved is simple: 🤳 Just spend 15 minutes of your weekend (or take a wellbeing break from work today) to head to your local river, and complete a quick and easy survey in the Big River Watch app. You'll tell us what you see, and we'll use it to support our campaigns as well as make that data available to other groups or organizations that also want better for our rivers. For example, our Movement of local Rivers Trusts can use the data to identify wildlife or pollution hot spots. Spending meaningful time in nature, such as participating in citizen science, is shown to have an even greater impact on wellbeing than simply being in nature. So while #BigRiverWatch is good for our rivers, it can also be very good for you too. Download the app and help build this large dataset today: https://lnkd.in/ek2_zFEg
