Fishing Lake at Earth Centre

A lovely path goes around the lake We walked over the bridge and saw lots of willow trees at Earth Centre

This path goes to Earth Centre fishing  lake

Devil's Ings
Across the McColgan Bridge from Solar Point lie the Devil's Ings, the wetlands of the Earth Centre site, situated between the path and the River Don.

The lagoon catches the run-off water from the site and this is also where the cleaned water from the wastewater treatment system ends. From here water can be taken for storage on site and used to irrigate the gardens in dry conditions. Further along the riverbank are the biomass gardens, where fast growing trees like willow and red oak are planted. The wood from these may be gathered and chipped for use as fuel in the biomass burner in Planet Earth Galleries, possibly in Phase 2.
