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.
Lots of reeds grow in the lake
There is a good walk to the fishing pegs
This path has lots of nice plants that like growing where it is wet
This is the view from under McColgans Bridge
People can fish from here
We liked walking over this bridge
Earth Centre is now closed.
Earth Centre closed in October 2004. Earth Centre is now in administration and
is no longer open to the public.
