The Restoration of Barclay Park Information Board
This photo shows the information board at the south end of the lake in Barclay Park. It has the following wording: THE RESTORATION OF BARCLAY PARK Left column Photos of i) Volunteers clearing lake ii) Illustration of coir roll Middle column In April 2011 the Friends of Barclay Park was formed and through its endeavours received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. This enabled much needed restoration work to be carried out on the lake and surrounding areas such as: New banks created from pre-planted coir rolls and hazel faggots New reed beds Lake de-silting and cleansing Planting of water lilies Installation of drainage under paths Signage and interpretation panels Creation of wet meadow Right column The wet meadow was created to turn an unusable area in the park into a new wildlife habitat. The area contains four natural springs which historically caused persistent ground water problems. This natural ecology has now been utilised and the area has been slightly excavated. Drainage has been installed at either end to collect and direct the excess water into the meadow, which has been sown with a grass, herb and marsh flower seed mix and will be further enhanced by the addition of donated swamp cypress and river birch trees. Since September 2011 the Barclay Park Volunteers have met monthly to carry out practical tasks in the park. They have taken on a number of projects which include pruning, planting, painting park furniture, litter picking and path cleansing. Photos of i) Purple loosestrife ii) Ragged robin

The Wildlife of Barclay Park Information Board
This photo shows the information board which is at the southern end of the lake in Barclay Park. It has the following wording: THE WILDLIFE OF BARCLAY PARK Robert Barclay had the lake constructed in 1894-5, using local labour to provide much needed work for the man of Hoddesdon. The lake is fed from Spital Brook which runs through the park. The brook's name comes from the medieval hospital which stood close to where the brook crosses the A1170. Spital Brook contains environmentally important and protected species, including stone loach and freshwater mussel. DID YOU KNOW? Feeding bread can cause: Poor Nutrition Spread of disease Pollution Overcrowding Delayed migration Unnatural behaviour Problems with pests and vermin. Many people enjoy feeding waterfowl but the effects of this seemingly generous act can be harmful so please use one of these healthier alternatives: Grapes cut in half Corn, barley, oats, grain Birdseed Fresh or defrosted peas Duck feed pellets This will encourage wildfowl to forage naturally and breed successfully. KEEP WILDLIFE WILD The photos on the right of the information board are: (Top left) Grey heron (Top right) Mute swan (Bottom left) Grey wagtail (Bottom right) Reed beetle

On 21 October 2012, members of the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th Hoddesdon Brownies and 1st Hoddesdon Guides planted 7,000 snowdrop, anemone and grape hyacinth bulbs.
