Special Activities/ Projects for 2026

Listed below are the activities and/ or projects that Friends of Bottesford Beck plan to action in 2026. The activities listed are over and above our normal maintenance work and are considered for the safety, beautification, benefit of the flora & fauna or the public. In addition, we will pay special attention to issues that effect the free flow of the waters in the beck.

List of Special Activities:

  • Although the Environment Agency and NLC cut back the overgrown weeds and shrubs along the bridleway, the shrubs overhanging the beck which lie below the surface of the water are causing a buildup of debris restricting the flow of water at various location. To rectify the situation the group will cut back the offending shrubs. This will take place in the summer months when the nesting season is over and the water temperature is warmer. 

List of Proposed Projects:

  • It has been proposed that a woodland nature walk would be a good addition to the the beck experience. This would be aimed at children acompanied by their parents. Further information on this project will follow in due course.
