[2] The Environment Agency,[4] Natural England[4] and the Eden Rivers Trust[1] have partnered to, over the course of two years, restore bends and turns to parts of the river that had previously been straightened for land management purposes.
[4][5] This can help prevent flooding and has encouraged Atlantic salmon to return to spawn.
[4] Volunteers planted 10,000 wildflowers of over 30 native species on the surrounding land.
[6] Several Pedigree cattle herds are named after the river, including Lyvennet Simmentals of Greystone House, King's Meaburn.
The Lyvennet valley may preserve the name of Taliesin's "Llwyfenydd"[7][8] and would thus be associated with the post-Roman Brythonic kingdom of Rheged.
