Breaking Ground in Harpers Brook
Natural Flood Management update:
We have put our hard hats on as contractors have moved on to site in the Harpers Brook catchment. Our project manager Sarah Parr has today been out in the catchment with Paige and Zav from Ebsford Environmental, as work begins on creating offline storage and bunds on a local farm.
