The Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust's Severn Vale Living Landscape Project aims to restore a rich variety of wildlife and supporting habitat to the floodplain of the Severn Vale as it passes through Gloucestershire.

 

Working with Partners, farmers and landowners the Project Officers are targeting land around existing hotspots (as defined by the Gloucestershire Nature Map) to encourage it to spread out into the wider countryside.

 

 For more information about the project visit the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust website.

The Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust's Water Vole recovery project is currently focussed on The Vale of Berkeley.  It aims to restore riparian habitat making it suitable for the fragmented water vole populations to re-colonise and expand to their former range.

 

 For more information about the project visit the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust website.

 

The programme continues to go from strength to strength.  Thanks to considerable efforts with mink control and habitat enhancements over the last few years, water voles seem to be expanding their range across the CWP.
