Project Overview
This project has fenced the Isle of Axholme and North Nottinghamshire Water Level Management Board’s land on which Keadby Warping Drain is situated; this has allowed grazing and the creation of grassland habitat so that the historic Keadby Warping Drain is situated in an area of complementary habitats with access and engagement in ‘warping’ and land drainage history.
The IoAHC Programme Team along with volunteers have been, and will continue to undertake annual wildlife surveys to monitor the habitat improvements.
Lead: Isle of Axholme and North Nottinghamshire Water Level Management Board
