We have officially completed the purchase of Warleigh Nature Reserve!! 🎉

We’re getting stuck in immediately. First up is Willow propagation and cutting access to a few areas that need work in spring.

Loads more to come but for those not familiar: https://youtu.be/2raJT5RM6mE

I was watching a video with the smalls earlier about pond restoration. It was showing that ghost ponds and zombie ponds can be taken back from their undead state.

The project is the Norfolk Pond Project and even has a free guide (pdf) on the restoration, creationg and management of ponds.

What appears, to me, from the video is that the farmers, sorry to put blame at farming community, don't seem to be good custodians of the land they're on and fill in or mis-manage the land adjacent to the ponds.
One of the ponds has over a meter of leaf-litter sitting, anaerobically digesting, at the bottom of a pond, it's starved of light and starved of wind. Haven for midges and the like but simultaneously bad for bats and birds that feed off the insects.

With so much awful going on it’s becoming more and more important to be out there doing good, and this Bath woodland & wetland will be the best thing my charity has ever done.

Here’s a video showing the plan: https://youtu.be/2raJT5RM6mE

We’re nearly at £9,000 but this crowdfunder has started to lose steam after a lack of interest in the local press. With record rainfall and flooding across the U.K. there’s no better time than now for wetland and wet woodland creation.

Please donate whatever you can spare, and possibly even more importantly please share with a few words about why this #reforestation #rewilding & #rewetting is improtant to you. #Bath #Bristol
