Project summary
The objective is to create natural banks that water voles can occupy through the removal of wooden toe-boarding.
Toe-boarding was removed from 500m of bank. Where there was a liklihood of bank collapse, on bends and around small islands, the boards were either left or a sympathetic replacement such as coir matting was used. Morden Hall Park is a former deer park currently owned by the National Trust. The river Wandle and several man-made channels flow through the park, the banks of which are protected by wooden toe-boarding. Water voles are currently absent on the river and there are future plans to re-introduce them at this site.
The project is part of the London Water Vole Project.
