An old clay pit on Bodmin Moor has been transformed into a haven for wildlife and plant species.

South West Water, which took over Park Pit in 2007, has been working to increase biodiversity at the site.

It now serves as a reservoir, supplying around four million litres of drinking water daily to parts of Cornwall.

The biodiversity efforts have seen 10 hectares of native broadleaf woodland planted, equivalent to around 14 football pitches.

Non-native trees have been removed and replaced with native species, providing more food sources and shelter for wildlife.

Livestock has been fenced off from certain areas, encouraging grass growth to provide shelter for breeding birds, including Curlews.

Almost 19 hectares of peatland have been restored, creating food sources and nesting habitats for wildlife.

An eel passage has also been installed to allow eels access to the newly wetted peatland area.

Hannah Bailey, biodiversity action officer at South West Water, said: "As the proud owner and manager of over 6,000 hectares of land, at South West Water we recognise the vital importance of creating and maintaining spaces where nature and wildlife can thrive.

"We’ve carried out some fantastic work at Park Pit over the last 12 years."
