About Hillingdon House Farm Newt waterways project
- 🌿 The Hillingdon House Farm Newt waterways project was created in 2021 to provide space for water and decrease flooding in the River Pinn area.
- 🏞️ The project has increased biodiversity by adding ditches, ponds, and scrapes with native wetland plants.
- 🦋 It has become a habitat and feeding ground for various species, promoting wildlife conservation.
- 💦 Covering an area of 5 hectares, the wetland absorbs rain runoff and reduces pressure on the River Pinn.
- 🌼 The site features wildflower meadows that add beauty to the open space.
- 🔨 Some nearby development had previously reduced available green space, making this project vital for restoring nature in the area.
- ⛅️ Mixed opinions exist regarding whether or not these wetlands have successfully slowed down water flow into the river.
- ⚖️ While some reviewers praise the creation of newt shelters and stag beetle loggeries, others mention a possible need for better upkeep or additional amenities.
- 🥾 Visitors can easily access this beautiful site from Morris Avenue at its bottom.
