LINCOLN CONSERVATION GROUP

FAR INGS NATURE RESERVE, BARTON UPON HUMBER, 7 MAY 2017

​9 of us attended this Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust reserve in the shadow of the mighty Humber Bridge. We were supplied with wellington boots by Simon Wellock of the Trust for whom we were working.  Often on tasks we chop things down but this time we were doing a spot of construction!

​We laid a couple of short sections of pipe between two pits to allow water levels to be managed between the two bodies of water.  

​We put in a simple wooden board at the ends of the pipes which could be removed if water was required to flow from one pit to the other.

​​We did a similar thing at a different location in the afternoon. It was quite wet work and boots overfilled with water and arms were plunged deep into the wet stuff to clear reeds and mud!
​The reserve was a lovely place to spend the day and we were well supplied with hot refreshments from the kitchen on site.  Simon Wellock was very knowledgeable and clearly loved his job and explained very well the work he was doing to manage and restore the various gravel pits of the reserve.
