In September 2017 CATCH (in conjunction with the Environment Agency) funded the placement of a rock berm between the two bridges at Wincanton recreation ground. This section of river is a hard engineered area and was lacking in diversity of habitat that a good river environment requires.

Due to the late planting of the rock berm the previous year, we lost most of the plants from the first attempt so this was our second attempt to plant the berm with native sedges etc and we had the added benefit of the whole summer for the plants to get established prior to the winter spate flows.
