York’s first “floating ecosystem” has been launched on the River Ouse to create a thriving habitat for wildlife and help improve water quality.

The project to install the pontoon-like structure has been led by charities St Nicks and York Cares

Jonathan Dent from St Nicks said: “This is an amazing project to inject some life back into the water in the city centre of York where there pretty much is none.”
