|Project summary=The objective is to create natural banks that water voles can occupy through the removal of wooden toe-boarding.<br>Toe-boarding was removed from 500m of bank. Where there was a liklihood of bank collapse, on bends and around small islands, the boards were either left or a sympathetic replacement such as coir matting was used. Morden Hall Park is a former deer park currently owned by the National Trust.  The river Wandle and several man-made channels flow through the park, the banks of which are protected by wooden toe-boarding.  Water voles are currently absent on the river and there are future plans to re-introduce them at this site.<br>The project is part of the London Water Vole Project.
|Project summary=Potential for deculverting, restoration of channel The Moselle flows from west to east across the recreation ground for a distance of approximately 400m. Most of the water is now diverted into a culvert, under the concrete path through the park, and disappears below the urban sprawl both up and downstream. Just to the south of the path are the remains of the old river course. This is now little more than a straight, Himalayan Balsam-choked ditch, with concrete banks in places.

Potential for deculverting, restoration of channel The Moselle flows from west to east across the recreation ground for a distance of approximately 400m. Most of the water is now diverted into a culvert, under the concrete path through the park, and disappears below the urban sprawl both up and downstream. Just to the south of the path are the remains of the old river course. This is now little more than a straight, Himalayan Balsam-choked ditch, with concrete banks in places.
