Buriton Pond has been cleared of silt and weeds. With the aid of a floating digger, it produced over 200 cubic metres of slit making it a healthier home for native species.

The slit has been used to create an island for wildlife.

The work funded by £35,000 of Government money from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
