Ditch restoration with bund and culvert creation at Stodmarsh NNR.
Natural England seeks a contractor for historic ditch restoration, reprofiling, and bund creation at Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve. The works involve restoring a 'lost' ditch, creating associated bunds and culverts. The reedbed area is largely unknown with soft silt up to 2m+ deep, unsuitable for low ground pressure excavators. The contract is below threshold and open competition. Bidders must have experience in similar wetland restoration projects and ability to work in challenging terrain.
