Work to turn a former brickworks in Wrose into a green oasis has now been completed, and a heron is among the wildlife to have already visited.
Wrose Quarry Wetlands on Carr Lane is a 2.5 acre site that has been created with £70,000 funding from the Government Shipley Towns Fund. The dramatic transformation of the site included improving a network of paths as well as the excavation of new ponds and wetlands, so that the space can be enjoyed all year round.
“The new ponds and wetland features complement the existing habitats, opening up the site to a broad range of flora and fauna. We’ve already had reports of a heron here which is fantastic.” Volunteers were joined onsite by members of the Shipley Towns Fund and Bradford Council, as well as pupils from nearby Low Ash Primary School to officially launch the wetlands.
