FoTR Work Party

Thank you to all those who helped at the work party at the Sewage Farm Lagoon on 27/10/02 despite the gales.

As you can see from the photos below we were actually quite sheltered where we were working.



Weatherproofing The Hide

The hide is now 5 years old and was due for reweatherproofing. Thanks go to Gilleard Bros (the hide manufacturers) who advised us on the stuff to use and supplied it at cost.

Habitat Enhancement

As part of our plan to improve the habitat for dragonflies and other insects we followed advice from a local expert and introduced some emergent and floating vegetation from the nearby canal.

British Waterways had kindly given us permission to transplant some plants from this section of canal on this particular day.
