Wom Brook Water Vole Project - Phase 2
Building on the work done during last year by Carillion, The Trust, Local Volunteers and Staffordshire County Council to create new ponds, which now have signs of water voles on them. Problems do still exist on the site though, such as the presence of invasive Himalayan balsam and erosion of the banks.
Phase 2 of the project will include a tree survey and development of a tree management plan. As well as a drainage study, willow weaving and Himalayan Balsam pulling that Carillion volunteers can get involved in.
