Hundreds of white-clawed crayfish have been taken from a National Trust site to a secret location
Hundreds of white-clawed crayfish have been relocated as part of a project to protect the endangered species.
The species are under threat from non-native signal crayfish which are living downstream at Markeaton Park. "The signal crayfish also threatens other species and will significantly reduce the biodiversity here. Teams from The National Trust, The Woodland Trust and the wildlife trusts from Staffordshire and Derbyshire used artificial refuge traps at strategic locations through the lakes system to catch the animals.They performed health checks on the crayfish at Kedleston to ensure they were ready for the move, before transporting them to a secret location where it is hoped they will thrive.
