Wide skies and the wild heronry on a walk organised by the London Wildlife Trust at the Walthamstow Wetlands to celebrate #Ramsar World Wetlands Day 2016.
Walthamstow Resevoir is currently being transformed into a wetland nature reserve, it is undergoing habitat enhancement work and restoration and development of a victorian engine house as a visitor centre. We are gladdened by the foresight and conservation efforts of London Borough of Waltham Forest in partnership with Thames Water and key stakeholders including the Environment Agency, Natural England and the Greater London Authority. The area has SSSI (Sites of Special Scientific Interest), SPA (Special Protection Areas) & Ramsar designations and is an ecologogally important site both locally and internationally. We can't wait for the Walthamstow Wetlands to be opened to the public in 2017 when it will be operated by the London Wildlife Trust.
