Pond clearance – Birmingham Wildlife Trust

Desilting works on ditches & ponds

The Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust had a site with a large population of great crested newts and wanted to improve the wetland habitat for them.  JPR Environmental undertook some pond clearance for the trust.  In addition to desilting a number of ponds and ditches, we also created a new pond, lined with bentonite liner, for the newts.

The project was funded by Higher Level Stewardship funds (HLS).
