How a farmer caused ‘the worst case of riverside destruction’ in England

A farmer’s actions have resulted in what an ecologist has described as the most severe riverside devastation recorded in England. The River Lugg, located in Herefordshire, has sustained extensive damage that is projected to require a full generation to recover from. The scale of the destruction is considered unprecedented, raising significant concerns about the long-term ecological impact on the waterway. Experts are now assessing the full extent of the damage and developing strategies for restoration.
