Boleskine Wetlands Project update.

A group of 35 officer cadets from Tayforth University Officers Training Corps have recently constructed a new jetty stretching out into the pond at the Boleskine Wetlands Project at Easter Boleskine near Foyers.This is part of an annual scheme to carry out community initiatives.

The new jetty will enable children to safely go pond-dipping without disturbing the edges of the pond where many delicate insects live.This jetty is the final part of the scheme to turn a piece of barren farmland into a thriving wetland.Treasurer of the wetland scheme Frank Ellam of Easter Boleskine said the jetty looked 'splendid' and the cadets had done a wonderful job.Hopefully the wildlife will continue to flourish and also be more visible to pond watchers young and old.
