Brigstock Wetland Creation

By funding this project you are contributing to their work. You will receive impact reports and measurements but you won't receive a carbon credit.

When Harpers Brook overflows, floodwaters enter homes, the village hall and doctors surgery, as well as the local sports fields. Just beyond the village lies farmland that could become a natural defence against flooding. By creating a wetland with shallow ponds, and installing ‘leaky dams’, we can hold back excess water when heavy rains come, reducing the risk of devastating floods while giving wildlife a place to thrive. The community is eager to see the land used for flood management and biodiversity.

This project: • Helps reduce flood risk • Boosts local biodiversity • Builds climate resilience • Community access & engagement
