This 2 page leaflet summarises the results of an experiment that tested five different methods of hedgerow rejuvenation: traditional Midland hedge-laying, conservation hedging, wildlife hedging, coppicing, and reshaping using a circular saw.

This handbook provides conceptual, practical and regulatory guidance on the beneficial use of sediments arising from dredging activities across the UK to support the restoration of coastal and estuarine habitats.

A short note summarising a series of guides on protecting and managing ancient woodlands, as well as how you can access the associated training provided by the Woodland Trust.

Manual aimed at landowners. Covers: different types of ponds, how to decide whether to create new ponds and/or restore existing ones, how to create a pond, choosing suitable locations, how to restore and manage a pond, how to find and restore a ‘ghost pond’, and managing invasive species.

Rewilding Britain’s website has a small collection of useful resources on how to rewild land, including specific guidance for woodlands and urban gardens, and covering legislation, planning and monitoring.

The Saltmarsh Management Manual describes the functions and value of saltmarshes and offers guidance on how to decide what management is needed. Although it is called a management guide, it also describes techniques for maintaining, restoring, enhancing or creating saltmarsh, and monitoring the outcomes.

Online GIS maps developed in 2018, by excluding /deleting unsuitable areas from the Environment Agency’s floodplain layer. Unsuitable areas included urban areas, major infrastructure, and existing managed realignment sites.

This data layer should only be viewed as a high-level indication where managed realignment may be feasible.

This detailed handbook was produced as part of the cross-agency Restoring Meadow, Marsh and Reef (ReMeMaRe) initiative. It aims to provide practical guidance on restoring and creating saltmarsh habitat across the UK and Ireland.

This detailed Defra and Environment Agency R&D Technical Report (FD1302/TR) from 2007 describes the processes affecting coastal sand dunes (including human activities), the role of sand dunes in coastal defence, and methods of ‘soft engineering’ sand dunes to control their flood defence performance and limit erosion.

This detailed handbook provides practical guidance on the restoration and conservation of seagrasses and seagrass beds in the UK and Ireland. It includes the following chapters:
An introduction to seagrass beds, threats to existing habitats, their ecological importance, and the concept of restoring resilient habitats.

This comprehensive online guide covers planning, licensing, legislation, biosecurity, site selection, seed collection, transplantation techniques, monitoring, benefits of seagrass, and case studies. Although written from a Scottish perspective, much of the guidance is applicable across the UK.

Online map of potential areas where seagrass could be restored. Derived from the EMODnet 2016 wave and current energy models combined with seabed digital elevation models, and Environment Agency salinity monitoring and modelling data.
