Wetland Restoration<\/h4><\/div>
<\/p>\n
\n

We have undertaken a large project for the RSPB at the Seasalter Levels in Whitstable, Kent, restoring a large part of the wetland area within the levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Part of the Climate Change Resilience Project, this grant funded project aimed to restore habitats and boost biodiversity. We used our specialist equipment to create bunds, rills and scrapes as well as de-silting and re-shaping existing waterways. The new features are designed to capture water within the levels and to maximise feeding and breeding spaces for wildlife.<\/div>\n
