Description

This application proposes to excavate 5,451m of foot drains (2,532m in 2024 and 2,919m in 2025) in key areas in the Ynys Hir Reserve for breeding waders and wintering Greenland white-fronted geese. This will ensure that water features are found throughout key areas of the breeding wader area. In turn this will increase breeding wader numbers and productivity levels in key fields and increase the amount of time Greenland white-fronted geese can use RSPB land. The Site is split into three parcels across the reserve.The Site consists of fields supporting mostly semi-improved and marshy grassland, with wetland habitats including areas of standing water and ditches.
