WILDLIFE around Rabbit Ings Country Park is now benefiting from new and improved wetlands thanks to a £39,000 grant.
The money, awarded through the Landfill Communities Fund, has enabled the Land Trust to carry out important work at the Royston site, including clearing existing reedbeds and waterways and creating new areas to providing extra space for birds and other wildlife to feed and nest.
The ground has also been lowered to raise water levels, which subsequently will create a healthier reedbed system to benefit a wider range of species including water voles and kingfishers.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
