new gravel riffle

Project number 4 on the Mimram catchment plan, 'Stream bed improvement at Singler's Marsh', has been completed! 

Sixty tonnes of silt has been removed from the river bed and replaced with sixty tonnes of gravel.

Tracked dumped

This will improve the river bed habitat for spawning fish and invertebrates.

The project at Waterford Marsh has got off to a flying start with a significant contribution from Network Rail. 

An average of 30 people per day are using the site.

Riverfly monitoring

Last week saw a very successful Riverfly training course held on the Mimram at Singler's Marsh. Fifteen new volunteers were trained to carry out invertebrate monitoring on their local river.

Water buffalo

Bye bye buffs - the charismatic water buffaloes have been taken off Thorley Wash Nature Reserve for the winter.

New picnic benches

We wanted to take a moment to celebrate the brilliant work of Harlow Wildlife Projects group (Project 27 on the Stort catchment plan).  Read volunteer Colin Lincoln's account of the project here!

Make friends

This is a great opportunity to get involved with the management of Pishiobury Park, or to help out with practical conservation tasks alongside other volunteers.
