New Forest and Dorset Heaths
The New Forest’s pristine freshwaters, wetlands and coastal habitats are part of the New Forest and Dorset Heaths Important Freshwater Landscape.
Oxford Area
Our Ock and Thame Farmers: Freshwater and Floodplain Restoration project is delivering landscape recovery and building the Freshwater Network across two lowland catchments.

Working with volunteers to identify priority ponds – and create new habitats – in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire.
Explore the Freshwater Network
The Freshwater Network
The Freshwater Network is a national network of wilder, wetter, cleaner, more connected habitats to stop and reverse the decline in freshwater biodiversity.
Historic Floodplains
The Freshwater Network will restore historic freshwater hotspots inside the one in 100-year floodplain by building networks of high-quality freshwater sites for wildlife.
Water Friendly Landscapes
Here, habitats will be created and restored to provide pathways for species to move across the landscape, adding further links outside of Important Freshwater Landscapes and Historic Floodplains.
