South Lake wader scrape islands project
Our latest project involved a contractor and large excavator and dumper as well as our own tractor and mower. from 14-16 October 2024 we were able to create four new islands on the wader scrape and add stone, add extra stone to the duck marsh islands, clear out the boat launch bays, repair a section of the north causeway plus finish the late season hay cut. We re-mowed the causeways and rides, strimmed the shore line and planted a few more large juncus plants for duck brood cover.
It's now ready to receive the waders over the weekend and coming week. This task was challenging due to the very wet weather. We drained the lake down to track out but yesterday's deluge has topped it back up again.
