Trialing novel techniques and approaches, never or rarely tried in the locality (or even elsewhere in the world), is a key part of WADER.

In addition to our core project work, WADER will also pilot innovative approaches to reduce diffuse pollution, manage invasive species, tackle macroalgae and reduce wildlife disturbance through a series of demonstration activities in partnership with various landowners and stakeholders. This will create a shareable ‘toolkit’ of novel techniques for nature recovery to improve and inspire sustainable land management and create a ripple effect of good practice – locally, nationally and even internationally.
