Cardiff Rivers Group and park rangers are improving the ex-landfill site for wildlife
NEW homes for skylarks, butterflies and mammals are being built in Grangemoor Park.
Volunteers and park rangers have been cutting down fast-growing willow and shrubs to build new wildlife habitats.
On March 2 they finished their latest project, a 40-metre dead hedge made from the willow. This will provide a habitat for birds during nesting season.
“We were here last week and as soon as we finished, there’s a wren and robin checking it out,” said Dave King MBE, founder of environmental volunteer group, Cardiff Rivers Group.
The ex-landfill site was closed during 2022, while Cardiff Council tried to stop contaminated water from the area entering the River Ely and Cardiff Bay.
