Lakes team update

2023 has been another great year for the Lakes Team

FoBP Lakes Action Team has:

  • Won a grant from the Environment Agency for an environmental audit to improve the watercourses & wildlife
  • Fed into Enfield's Broomfield Lottery bid on the lakes and biodiversity
  • Fed the waterbirds daily though all seasons
  • Protected the swans' nest during nesting time
  • Increased baby birds safety by scaring gulls and encouraging responsible dog walking
  • Community engagement, sharing knowledge and stories
  • Worked with the council to erect protective fencing and dog control notices
  • Rescued injured birds
  • Continued to clean rubbish from the lakes
