Guided tour of Steart Coastal Management Project

Steart Drove, Somerset, TA5 2PU

18:00 for light refreshments

18:15 walk starts

In May 2012 the Environment Agency began construction work to create one of the UK's largest new reserves for wildlife. Over 400 hectares of the Steart Peninsula will be turned into wildlife-rich habitats including saltmarsh and freshwater wetland. These habitats provide vital feeding and breeding grounds for wading birds and wildfowl. Importantly the scheme will also provide better protection for Steart village and Stert Drove against flooding. There will also be improved access for people with disabilities, horse riders, cyclists and walkers with new panoramic viewpoints and wildlife observation hides.

This long-awaited project is spearheaded by the Environment Agency, in conjunction with the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.

This visit will provide attendees with an insight into how the reserve is being created and what the implications are for wildlife and flood protection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a limit of 25 people for this visit. PLease read all the details regarding booking on the flyer.
