River Aire Spiling

Willow spiling to protect a river bank from erosion. The River Aire flows through a flood plain between Bingley and Saltaire. The banks are soft aluvial silt that was eroding at about 0.5m a year. See some of the installation process and how it's doing. For info about contractors etc contact Wendy at Aire Rivers Trust https://aireriverstrust.org.uk
