The beginning of the project
The Wild Park Rainscape is a pioneering project created in 2017 by The Aquifer Project and National Highways.
It was set up to deliver a sustainable drainage system (SuDS) in Wild Park Local Nature Reserve in the Moulsecoomb area, to prevent polluted water from road traffic running into the underlying groundwater.
The rainscape will also address localised flooding at the park entrance, strengthen natural habitats, and improve the space for local people to enjoy.
