  • We are happy to share that our efforts in seagrass restoration have been featured in Water Magazine! The article highlights the scale of just some of the work being done at our Welsh nursery, where we aim to restore lost meadows, critical for marine biodiversity and climate resilience. Thank you to Water Magazine for shining a light on this important work!

  • Salix has been assisting CAN and BAM UK & Ireland with Network Rail's South West Rail Resilience Programme along the Dawlish Coast. Almost 20,000m2 of steel rock netting and soil nails have been installed to stabilise the cliff, with Salix’s #Coconet800 coir erosion control blanket installed underneath. The #Coconet800 will provide instant erosion protection, whilst supporting vegetation which can colonise the cliff face. Well done to the project and delivery team 👏 #erosioncontrol #rail #geotechnical
