New Habitat
Posted
on
Work has been continuing throughout the week to dig out our newest habitat improvement; a large scrape on the moor.
The scrape is intended to provide a suitable feeding and resting area for declining wader species. The creation of this much needed habitat involves some major earth works to create a level football pitch sized area which will fill with approximately nine inches of water.
There will be a lot of exposed mud around the margins of the scrape to provide easy access.. The project has attracted quite a bit of media attention and we were visited by BBC Radio Teesside today and you can read more about it in the Northern Echo.
