Major Chalk River Floodplains

Landscape Character Type and Key habitats

Floodplain grazing marsh, water meadows, reed beds, wet woodland, saltmarsh and intertidal mudflats

Naturalisation and restoration of floodplains through improving the natural morphology and working with natural processes to accommodate flood storage. . Conserve, expand and connect extensive areas of grazing marshes and the associated freshwater ditch systems.
Conserve and expand other wetland habitats such as reed beds, wet woodland.
Mange natural coastal processes to recreate intertidal habitats such as saltmarsh and intertidal mudflats and transitional areas

Increase species diversity of semi improved grasslands and other grasslands along the river corridors
Create wildflower meadows
Create a 10 metre habitat buffer zone on either side of rivers
Create buffer strips along water courses, hedgerows and woodland edges
Restore and create ponds
Monitor and control invasive non-native species
