It was a day to learn and play together – one way of enjoying a second childhood whilst creating habitat for our fellow creatures!

Claire and Alistair from Froglife brought all the kit and gave us plenty to do making the hibernacula  (overwintering areas for amphibians), planting the various pond plants, giving us interactive presentations on ponds, amphibians and reptiles as well as a pond dipping session to see what dwells in the depth of our small but fascinating freshwater habitats!
