The ongoing wetlands construction project at Oakwood Park in Enfield continues to progress well, with many of the larger wetland cells taking shape as the construction phase continues.
In addition to its commitment to enhancing the natural environment, Enfield Council has a well-established commitment to historical documentation, and works in concert with Enfield Archaeological Society to inspect and document excavation projects when possible. In keeping with its goal of delivering projects in a responsible, sustainable, and thoughtful manner, Turfdry is happy to help integrate these activities into its projects when requested, improving the natural environment for the future, whilst ensuring nothing of value is lost to the past.

Read MoreAs part of Enfield Council's drive to make environmental improvements to the local area, Turfdry has begun work on a river restoration project at Firs Farm Playing Fields. Won on competitive tender, the works will see the excavation of a watercourse that stretches between the north-west and north-east corners of the park, and will carry the water that has - for the past fifty years or so - been diverted into an underground culvert.
