SEDGLEY Beacon will be springing into life next month thanks to green-fingered volunteers from South Staffs Water.
Working in partnership with The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country, the team of water employees recently spent a day gardening on top of the covered in reservoir in the hope of encouraging more wildlife to the site.
Work on the local landmark, which is funded through the Nature Improvement Area, started last year with the creation of a new wildflower meadow.
This year South Staffs Water employees have turned their attention to planting new hedgerows and renovating existing ones, sowing more wildflowers and clearing the site of litter.
Alex Martin, head of water strategy, said: “The day at Sedgley was a great opportunity to get out of the office to see and physically participate in what we are trying to do through our biodiversity and community engagement strategies.
"There was some hard work to be done but it was also great fun."
South Staffs Water plan to continue their work at Sedgley Beacon, helping the Wildlife Trust to realise their plans of returning the site to its former beauty.
