Save Magor Marsh
Gwent Wildlife Trust received the Compulsory Purchase Order today for the section of nature reserve at Magor Marsh near Magor.
The trust said it will take an area of wet grassland and ditch rich in rare wildlife that includes meadow thistle, otters, water voles and ancient pollarded willows.
The drainage system on the Levels is extremely complex and 2500m of ditch and reen, full of nationally rare plants and insects would be lost if the relief road goes ahead. There is no way to replace these with brand new ditches never mind maintain the integrity of the drainage system that ultimately prevents many villages and towns on the Levels from flooding. Gwent Wildlife Trust is running a drop-in session where they will speak about the impacts of the proposed Relief Road on the environment.
