Tender: Wetland Restoration and Infrastructure Works at RSPB Amberley Wildbrooks (Pulborough & Amberley)

About

RSPB Amberley Wildbrooks is seeking a supplier for wetland restoration and associated infrastructure works to restore and improve lowland wet grassland and connected wetlands in the Arun Valley. Works include replacing and repairing culverts to improve access and hydrological control, installing a corral and new fencing for better grazing and deer management, reprofiling ditches where the rare snail Anisus vorticulus is present, and creating wet features and scrapes to retain water through drier periods. The project supports breeding waders and wintering wildfowl, increases site resilience to wetter winters and drier summers linked to climate change, and forms part of the multi‑partner Downs to the Sea programme led by the South Downs National Park Authority, with aims to restore ponds and wetlands and engage underserved and vulnerable local communities.
