We 💗 Meanders

A correspondent brought THIS ARTICLE to my attention. There was something about this on the BBC news as well. 

It concerns something which got me interested in the natural world when I was a young teenager and led to me becoming a geologist - meanders! There were other things as well of course - the polarising microscope in particular, but meanders and ox-bow lakes have a place in my heart.

It seems meandering streams and rivers are better for wildlife and water companies than fast, straight streams. This has been demonstrated in Swindale in the Lake District. The article tells you all about it so I will not repeat what it says - read it!
