Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Structural tree line/invertebrate productivity for foraging bats, plus bat roost potential; backwater; scalloped bays for marginal plants. See also the project ‘Barnes Common’, a specific reedbed creation project.

Best practice management plan for commuting, foraging and roosting bats; watervoles, fisheries benefits and flood defence benefits; improvement of bankside for marginal plants and/or fringing reeds, strengthening wild life corridor along brook for birds, water voles, grass snakes, rats etc; enhance bankside marginal vegetation and provide suitable habitat for birds, invertebrates, plus potential for dispersal for the BAP species from London wetland centre e.g. water vole, grass snake; readily accessible to the public; forage area for bats.
