River restoration work begins in Worcestershire
Thursday, February 21, 2019
The £20m scheme aims to reopen more than 150 miles of the River Severn, making it easier for endangered fish to reach their spawning grounds.
The Environment Agency wants to reintroduce shad to the river, said to be one of King Henry III's favourite fish.
Many species vanished after weirs were installed as they prevented migration.
The project will also see England's only fish viewing gallery built at Diglis Weir in Worcester.
