DRAINAGE LAGOON PLANTED BY WOODCHIPS

24/4/2019

0 Comments

 
This drainage lagoon was created nearly two years ago at the junction of Holly Lane and Outwood Lane to prevent flooding after heavy rainfall. The WoodChips are a local conservation group who operate with the Countryside Office of Reigate and Banstead Council and work mainly in Banstead Woods and Chipstead Downs. They successfully applied to the Trust for a grant to plant aquatic species in the lagoon to create a haven for local wildlife and also to soften its rather stark appearance! Planting took place earlier this year and we look forward to watching the site mature as the year progresses. Thanks to the WoodChips for the photos.
