The Biosphere's Estuary Project to use on-farm wetlands to improve water quality and benefit wildlife has come to an end and has been a great success. During the 8 month project five grants were given to farmers that totalled nearly £120K and enabled them to create ditches, sediment traps, reedbeds and other 'soft' engineering measures that improve run-off water quality and help prevent the loss of valuable soil and nutrients into watercourses.
The Project is producing a YouTube film that shows how such measures benefit the environment and the farm's economic bottom line. More
