The National Trust plans to reintroduce punting on the River Witham through the restoration of the Boathouse and the first phase of river restoration work. Specialist contractors will remove silt deposits, restore a lost river channel and rebuild lost revetments.
Additionally, a secondary Otter Holt, new rocky banks for white-clawed crayfish and additional bat boxes will help to improve habitat along this stretch of the Witham for some of the many protected species that can be found at Belton.
