A project by Freshwater Habitats Trust and Thames Water is due to complete at the end of January.
More Oxfordshire wetlands are to be restored to their former glory in a project by national wildlife conservation charity Freshwater Habitats Trust and Thames Water.
Partly funded by the government's Green Recovery Challenge Fund, the initiative is part of the trust's plans to build a national network of high-quality freshwater and wetland habitats for wildlife.Once finished, the Oxfordshire waterbodies will complement other floodplain restoration work through the Thames Valley, enhancing habitats for species including otters, amphibians, dragonflies, water beetles, and rare and threatened plants, the trust explained.
The first group of 25 ponds was created on Pinkhill Meadow next to the River Thames in 1990. Funded by Thames Water and the Environment Agency, it was used to trial the trust's design ideas for wildlife-rich ponds.
