About the event
We will visit some recently created pond habitats which are just a few of the 600 or so the FWAG East Pond Team has created and restored across the East since 2020! The team will also be dipping for pond invertebrates.
We will also visit the larger scrapes and ditches created elsewhere on farm, providing vital habitat for waders and other wildlife. FWAG advisers Rebecca Inman and Nigel Russell will discuss wetland habitat creation and natural flood management measures.
We will finish our tour of the farm with lunch at 1pm.
With special thanks to Giles and Sonia Coode-Adams for hosting this event.
