Below are a couple of photos to show how the work at the marsh is progressing. I will try and get some original aerial shots from Pete Wall soon. Pete of the Dearne Valley Green Heart Partnership is leading on this Nature Improvement Area project funded by Defra.
The planning and implementation of the work by Pete and the contractor, Paul Bichen, is now beginning to enhance the potential to attract a great deal more wildfowl and waders to the site, as well as creating flood alleviation on the Cudworth Dike/River Dearne system. The excavation work may be completed by the end of this week leaving just the sluices to be fitted. The only way is up!
