Civil Engineering Wetland Creation Morris' Bridge Fields Whixall

Shropshire Wildlife Trust (SWT) are creating a wetland nature reserve on low lying land. The aim is to ensure that shallow surface water conditions can be consistently maintained across parts of the site during the spring and summer periods. This will provide habitat favourable for waders and wildfowl, the development of wetland vegetation and improve the carbon storage. The work includes the construction of access route, flood banks made of clay excavated on site and headwalls with inlet and discharge pipes with control valves
