For a few years there was a natural dam built up on this section of Highland Water as it meanders through Camel Green. Every winter it would hold the water back heroically. It looks like the forestry have cleared it, as it's piled on either bank. I thought the idea of bog woodland restoration was to slow the water leaving the forest, in order to reinstate a wetter environment, to let nature do her thing...naturally. Dams form are natural occurrences, one clearly developed here and was effective at slowing the water, so why interfere when she does her thing?
