PEOPLE of all ages are being encouraged to let their imaginations run wild and help inspire a project to restore a wetland are in south Shropshire.

It is at Stanmore Country Park in Bridgnorth.

After winning grant funding from Severn Trent Community Fund, there are plans to restore a ‘misty swamp’ and the land around it to recreate a pond for wetland wildlife.

Now Shropshire Council rangers are asking young and old to send in pictures or short stories inspired by the mysterious swamp, which could then be carved into a bridge which forms part of the restoration work.

The competition is open until 5pm on Sunday, November 6, and entries, pictures or stories no longer than 500 words can be emailed to edward.andrews@shropshire.go.uk
