Volunteers from Santander Bank cut willow Salix Viminalis at Yorkshire Water's land near Esholt. This willow hybrid was developed for biomass. It is fast growing and grows straight and so is ideal for weaving into our river bank structure and then reliably sending out roots to bind the river bank.

A huge thank-you to the staff at Santander who chose to do this work on one of their corporate volunteer days.
