This is an Earthwatch initiated project which began in February 2001 and has
continued in partnership with North East Wales Wildlife since October
2003.
The major aim of the project is to improve rivers as wildlife corridors by
- Surveying rivers for otter and water vole and any potential for improvements
- Consulting with conservation-minded landowners and professional experts
- Drawing up action plans
- Organising funding for fencing work, materials and chainsaw work
- Building otter holts and log piles
- Constructing and erecting bird and bat boxes
- Planting trees, especially Black Poplar
Work has been carried out on the Rivers Clwyd, Alyn and Clywedog.
