REINTRODUCTION OF WATER VOLES

That this House commends the reintroduction of water voles into the River Dore on the Herefordshire-Welsh border as the final stage of the River Monnow Project, one of the largest river habitat restoration projects in the UK; notes that water voles are among the most charismatic of river creatures but have declined in numbers due to loss of suitable habitat; and hopes that similar conservation projects will continue to be introduced nationwide.
