@aerobique , @Robp13, @weacoo7 , @blackyhimself ,

Glad you enjoyed Chisenbury. We are working on the next video project as I write. Should be ready around end of February. There are plenty more projects in the pipeline including some great Chalkstream restoration projects... Kennet,Bourne,Lambourn, Avon,Test and Itchen. We also plan to introduce some elements of fly fishing to make the connection between river restoration, amenity value and benefits to the local economy....Thanks and stay tuned

Great video, great project. More like this please!

amazing, I hope to be involved in a project like this someday. These projects should be implented around the world to restore our highly degraded waterways so that they can provide a healthy habitat for plant and animal life. It will also help people because of the cleaner water and thriving animals than can be used for food (fish, amphibians, waterfowl,etc).

great project, and great production on the video. Who is this Chill Factory and why aren't they doing more videos?!

great project!

i saw some who also put big stones in of such rivers to re-naturalize so that possible much whirls be formed. But looks already very good here. Good video.
