Work at the Lake

Thursday, March 13th 2014

Work began today at the head of the lake in preparation for the creation of a series of terraced pools next week. Volunteers cleared small trees and Gorse from the area so work can start as soon as the digger arrives on Monday morning.

There are going to be three shallow terraced pools dug in with water cascading over rocks between these. The shallow water will create improved habitat for many species of birds including Dippers and Grey Wagtails. Watch this space for updates on this exciting project!
