The Sunday before last (13th October 2013) SACV volunteers joined members of the Friends of Chorlton Meadows to continue with some pond work which we first did around this time last year. The aim was to clear some areas of the pond to maintain an important habitat balance between reed beds and open water. Well done to everyone who was out and – especially – got into the water!

Today SACV worked with the Friends of Chorlton Meadows to help restore an important pond habitat. The pond had become overgrown with reeds, and the banks with Himalayan balsam; the work was to clear some of this to restore some areas of open water.
