A project, supported by Durham Wildlife Trust, has seen habitat improvements to a local wild space in Woolsington which have resulted in the return of wetland birds to the area.
The conservation work was supported as part of Northumbrian Water’s Bluespaces Scheme, which is hosted by Durham Wildlife Trust, and aims to deliver water environment improvements across its regions.
Working over several years, the project saw the original landowner and Woolsington Parish Council working together to plan a series of site and habitat improvements with a broader long-term objective of creating a nature reserve.
