Bracken bashing in Burncrooks

Working as part of the Caledonia Water Alliance (CWA), a joint venture alliance between M Group Water and Aecom, we went back to basics, using a horse power to control bracken. 

As part of our improvement work for Scottish Water in a suburb of Glasgow, we had to be mindful that the land was part of a larger Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) area, which includes an unusual mixture of wet and dry heath and ancient woodland. 

We used two working heavy horses, called Tyne and Tantan, who belonged to a local farmer, to clear the bracken in a more environmentally friendly way.
