In partnership with the RSPB we are holding a Step up for Nature - Build a Bird Box event during February's half-term. If you are interested in helping nature and conservation why not join us by the Education Centre?

The RSPB will supply flat pack bird box kits for children to assemble (with a little help), which can be donated to the gardens or taken home to attract birds into your garden. We hope to see some of you with your children or grandchildren down in the gardens doing your bit for nature.

Pond Days

December 2009 – The pond is completely overgrown and if left would cease to exist!

The team move in to determine what vegetation and unwanted material needs to be removed.

The site is carefully checked for pond and plant life that needs to remain.

Some of the silt is carefully removed to lower the bed of the pond.

Approximately 50% of the pond is cleared to reveal open water, which is vital to attract water bettles.

The team have been careful to maintain a balance between the various types of pond habitat.

We will continue clearing excess vegetation and silt at various intervals over the coming years.
If you are interested in helping, please check the web site and notice boards for further information.
