Dorset's rivers and catchments
Dorset's rivers including the globally rare chalk streams support an extraordinary array of wildlife, including a huge range of aquatic insects. River valleys contain highly important wetlands, including wet woodlands and flower-rich meadows, home to wildfowl and wading birds. Our work to protect and restore river habitats ranges from working with farmers and landowners to training water guardians to monitor their local stretch of river.

Great willowherb
A tall and hairy plant, Great willowherb displays pretty pink-and-cream flowers. It can be found in damp places, such as wet grasslands, ditches and riversides.
Great skua
A fierce pirate of the sea, the great skua is renowned for stealing fish from other seabirds and dive-bombing anyone that comes near its nests. It breeds on the Scottish Isles.
Great burnet
The egg-shaped, crimson flower heads of Great burnet give this plant the look of a lollipop! It can be found on floodplain meadows - a declining habitat which is under serious threat.
