GENERAL PROJECT

Birtley Reed Beds Refurbishment

Reed beds refurbishment to provide free space within the beds for further treatment of minewater and sewage using this sustainable process. Our sewage treatment works and reed beds aid NWG in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

Good Morning,

Just a brief update and a couple of photos to let you know how we are progressing.

The transplanting of the reeds seems to be taking really well, I guess this recent period of good weather has helped.

We have been assisting the council with placing some boulders at the entrance of the path leading into the reed area. They asked if we could strategically place them so as to assist walker/rambles who could access the path and to discourage fly-tippers which does seem to happen a lot in that area. (it also has been removed)

Don't forget if you want to ask anything about he project please feel free.

Stay safe
