After many months of tremendous work by the volunteers at Batford Springs the new boardwalk and reed fen were finally completed and formally opened by the Harpenden Town Mayor on 3 December, 2021.
The Harpenden Trust's Community Fund supported the project and their contribution meant a new reed fen could be excavated with the boardwalk being built over it. A natural lake has been formed and we all look forward to next summer when there should be a lovely display of wild flowers. The boardwalk is over 200 yards long and provides excellent access to this beautiful natural area.
A fantastic project which will be of great benefit to the town, successfully completed by local residents.
