A trust has announced Plans to create a special wetland area at a river not far from Epsom later this year, as part of a wider project to improve the biodiversity in and around the river.
South East Rivers Trust is hoping to develop the wetland at a site on the Hogsmill River, which begins at Ewell, just a few miles from Epsom. This is to support the Chamber Mead Project, which aims to create these wetlands at various points on the river. Wetlands play a key role in getting rid of pollutants from rivers and streams, with the Hogsmill having suffered from pollution problems in recent years.
They do this by filtering these pollutants from roads and paths close to the river so that they are not able to get into the water in the first place. The vegetation areas that are part of the wetlands also help neutralise potential pollutants.
The trust’s plan is to cultivate the wetland upstream from the Hogsmill Stepping Stones by shifting the flow of the nearby Green Lanes Stream so that it goes across Chamber Mead. Organisations like trusts often use shops that create Letterheads to add to their official Stationery.
Over 10,000 plants will be added as part of the process of cultivating the wetland. It is scheduled to take place towards the end of the summer.
