This invasive species can be a huge problem as it grows very quickly and crowds out all other plants and wildlife if left unmanaged. Also at Manor Park, wetland areas and wildflower meadows have been created. The EA also updated and improved the play area. And it is now much easier for people to access the river itself. The EA working with local groups such as the Quaggy Waterways Action Group (QWAG) resulted in ideas such as distributing waste logs from the sites to resident’s gardens. The logs act as a natural habitat for the stag beetle, a protected species. We worked closely with local police officers to design the park to be a safe, crime-free place. Local people can walk dogs, bring children, splash around in the river, or simply catch a glimpse of a kingfisher flitting about near the water. The restoration work takes account of the effects of climate change. For example, colourful Mediterranean plants in the ‘Sunshine gardens’ need less water than most indigenous species. They will be better able to cope with hotter, drier summers. The channel of the river was improved to restore low flow features.
