David Anderson, RSPB Scotland Warden at Baron’s Haugh, said: "It has been a long road to get to this stage, but we are delighted to now be underway in delivering a truly transformational project. The initiative involves working with the river's changing course, creating a more natural link between the Clyde and its floodplain. Once this breach is constructed, work will commence on the main wetland to build new pools, scrapes and channels to increase wetland habitat. "Through the Nature Restoration Fund, we can support RSPB Scotland with this important work to restore the wetland habitats at Baron’s Haugh.
