Over the past year, we have been working with Rochdale Council to develop a natural flood management scheme. The scheme aims to slow the water flow off the Moors in Rochdale and ultimately reduce the likely hood of Rochdale flooding.
The scheme, funded by the Environment Agency, will install 3 ponds, plant trees and plants on Rochdale Children’s Moorland Homes’ land which will also attract wildlife and give us another space to utilise with the children who have a holiday with us.
The work is well underway, with culverts, fencing. And the planting of trees and other plants. It is due for completion in the next 6 weeks.
