BIODIVERSITY VOLUNTEERING AT POND 3
Our last biodiversity event for 2025. We'll build dead hedges for land animals to lie low in over winter and damp refuges for frogs, toads and other amphibians to shelter in.
We'll also be digging out some of the invasive sedge and bramble roots as well.
You don't have to be there throughout - turn up at any time from 10am: we'll finish between 1:30 and 2pm.
