On 31st May we will be installing plastic dams at Langlands Moss Local Nature Reserve.
We look forward to continue our collaboration with Friends of Langlands Moss and help install dams across one of the bigger ditches in the reserve.
It promises to be a rewarding days work - every dam built gives the bog a better chance of staying wet and supporting rare wildlife and plants. The effect of the dams can sometimes be seen only just a few weeks after installation, when water builds up and Sphagnum Moss begins to colonise the new wet areas.

This will be the first of many work parties to come this summer - so watch this space!
