[4] Since then Fylde Bird Club have recorded additional birds at the lake including, great cormorant, European goldfinch, kingfisher and water rail[4] In January 2008 a new "Friends of Kincraig Lake" group was set up by local residents to help restore the wetland back to its former glory, following years of tipping, vandalism and neglect.

As well making a priority improvements to the footpaths it was also agreed to beginning regular "litter picks", and to hold monthly Friends meetings.
