Join the Don Catchment Rivers Trust at Priory Farm in Renishaw to secure existing leaky barriers and build new ones across the brook and floodplain. As water levels in the brook rise during heavy rainfall, they will hit the leaky barriers, back up behind them and spill into safe spaces in the floodplain, creating temporary storage of flood flows. Spaces are limited so please book on to this event using the Eventbrite link below. 

PLEASE NOTE: This event is weather dependent as the site floods. If it has been, or is forecast to be very wet, we may need to postpone. We will contact you if this is the case.

Task: Secure existing leaky barriers and build new ones using hand tools (e.g. hand saws, loppers, maul) and lifting aids (e.g. timber tongs and log lifters) to prepare, move and fix logs into position.

When: Tuesday 28^th October, 10am-1pm

Where: Priory Farm woodlands (off Barbers Row), Renishaw
