We are estimating that 1cm of silt returns to the Lake every overtopping tide. We will probably have to clean the lake out about three times a year. Using the hopefully new sluice gates this should make the job a lot easier than the present one.
The Mudlarks volunteers (over 2,000 of you) will be asked to specifically volunteer on the clean up days and we will hopefully be supplying the kit required (wheelbarrow, shovels, chest waders, tough gloves). Regular litter picking will also take place.
