Field team have completed their weed cut!

The Askham field team has now completed their weed cut along the River Maun in Mansfield, ensuring the channel remains clear and functional. This work is vital as the Maun feeds into rivers within the Bassetlaw district, meaning any blockages or excessive vegetation could impact wider water flow and flood risk downstream. The Environment Agency carries out in-channel weed cutting to improve conveyance, reduce the risk of flooding, and support a balanced aquatic ecosystem. By managing vegetation, they help maintain healthy river conditions for both wildlife and local communities.
