Over the past few days, our warden team has carried out some much needed work on the Reedbed trail at Burton Mere Wetlands, raising the surface layer to reduce the risk of puddles and flooding in the wet winter months.
However the current hot, dry weather has left the new material looser than the finish on the rest of the reserve trails; as a result, visitors with wheelchairs and pushchairs may have difficulty using this trail at present. Visitors on foot should be aware of a small risk of skidding on the loose gravel. Beyond Marsh Covert hide, the paths are unaffected.
We have a contractor coming on Monday with a roller to finish the work and return the path to its previous fully-accessible state. In the meantime, the Burton Mere trail is unaffected so all visitors can enjoy the Reception Hide and Bunker screen, the garden and old fishpond areas.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience whilst we finish this essential maintenance work. For any further information please call the reserve on 0151 353 2720 between 9am and 5pm.
