Improving the health of the lakes , ponds and wetlands

An exciting new project to restore the health of the lakes, wildlife pond and wetlands in Broomfield Park in Palmers Green has won the backing of the Environment Agency.

An agreement was signed to commission an ecologist to produce an environmental audit and an enhancement strategy to increase biodiversity and water quality. MK Associates will be undertaking this work and reporting back towards the end of the year.

Next Spring the follow up aim will be for teams of volunteers to start to test water quality in all the watercourses and for new planting to help improve water quality and provide natural food for birds and other wildlife.
