The National Trust "Leaky Dam" Project
Meet Nik Taylor from the National Trust, who tells us all about the recent project undertaken by NW Groundworks Ltd to help flood prevention in the Ramsbottom (Greater Manchester) area. Nik said: “Reducing the risk of flooding is a big priority for us in our aim to protect and care for nature, and we’re so grateful for the support of the Environment Agency and the work of NW Groundworks Ltd in making this project in Buckden Wood possible. “We’ve seen the devastating effects that flooding can have on local communities and the environment, particularly in the River Irwell catchment area, and the use of these natural methods is a really important way that we can help to reduce this."
