The project aims to complete river restoration aspirations at Tameside Local Nature Reserve in Tamworth. This follows the original project started in 2009 by the EA, Tamworth BC and Staffordshire Wildlife Trust which pulled back bank, created 10 scrapes and small ponds as well as creating a fish refuge linkage into smiley face pool. The second phase of delivery which was not carried out was to create a linked backwater channel on the right bank of the reserve. This channel will create additional and important habitat for fish and fry while also being profiled in such a way to be attractive to any remnant water vole population that exists or which may be re- introduced in the future. The island created from the work will be an important refuge for ground nesting birds. <br> View the project video on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=1R95ViXTC_0 Taming the Tame taming the tame http://http://www.tamevalleywetlands.co.uk/ Tame Anker and Mease Humber River Tame from R Blythe to River Anker river tame from r blythe to river anker 100 - 1000 km² 134 100 - 200 m River Tame from R Blythe to River Anker GB104028046440 Environmental flows and water resources Fisheries Habitat and biodiversity Water quality Urban 2018-02-19T20:35:50Z 2458169.3582176 2019-01-04T09:36:41Z 2458487.9004745 Taming the Tame 500 1 plainlist 5 [[Category:Case study]] [[Project title::!Taming the Tame]] [[Subcatchment title::River Tame from R Blythe to River Anker]] Taming the Tame# QUERYfcc545f827bc1ec06c461bea86114a11
