Volunteers to install leaky dams for flood protection - Maynards Green

💦New leaky dam project starts 1st Dec - Sapperton Wood in Maynards Green💦

Leaky dams are a natual flood management technique. Installed in little streams upstream of flood risk areas, they slow the flow of water after heavy rain so that it proceeds down the catchment more gradually, causing less harm to homes and properties. Up here in the wood, the little pools and puddles don't do any harm, and even help to create more variety of habitat that benefits nature.
