Rob Mungoven, WTT Conservation Officer for the east of England has been assisting the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust to deliver new habitat for the River Lee at Wheathampstead.
3 days of hard work with 15 volunteers has seen 30m of new water vole habitat created along the bank, with a brushwood ledge providing a refuge for trout and chub as well as a colourful frontage to the site. Small projects like these are really good for training volunteers in simple techniques which benefit wildlife in the river and on the banks.
And a brown trout was seen chasing off chub!
