Project Description
Plans to improve a pump house on Bells Drain meant that a ditch, managed by the Lower Medway Internal Drainage Board had to be widened. Working with renowned ecologist, Derek Gow, we surveyed the channel for water voles and set about trapping for 15 days until the site was clear. Following this we undertook a destructive bank search. The trapped voles were relocated and the widened ditch should provide improved habitat for wildlife once it is revegetated.
