Green Belt and Angle Drain

Green Belt and Angle Drain

Work will commence this winter on raising water levels in the Green Belt area of Thorne Moors. Pre-works scub clearance has already taken place in this area, funded by Natural England and the Humberhead Levels Nature Improvement Area (NIA). This work will be done through installing plastic piling and peat bunding. In addition four steel pile dams will be installed in the area as well as two additional ones at Blue Bridge and on Crowle Moors.

This work is essential for the future control of water levels on the moors in order to encourage the growth of peat-forming vegetation, such as Sphagnum mosses.

If you would like any further information on the proposed works this winter, please contact the project team.
