Flood prevention work is taking place, in a bid to use land as a sponge for the River Severn and River Tern. A National Trust site in Shropshire are working to try and slow down water, to prevent the catchment from getting flooded. Rangers and volunteers at Attingham Park, in Atcham, have been building dams, restoring ponds and planting trees, in a bid to use their land as a sponge for the River Severn and River Tern. It is one of eight projects being supported through the Severn Valley Water Management Scheme and Shropshire Council. They say this project will help "understand how nature-based solutions" can be used to improve water management and make the Severn catchment resilient to future climate change. Dams have been made with willow wood from pond restoration projects on the Attingham estate.
