Update by Joan Tatters

Good Morning All,

Just a quick up date about our return, works progressing well in Reed Bed 4. We hope to remove the sludge by the end of this week (weather permitting) which will allow us to start the transplanting. Fingers crossed the planting takes and we should be complete Bed 4 by early Spring when all will be left will be the reinstating of the surrounding area.

Thanks again for your co-operation and stay safe
