Every Tuesday and Thursday throughout July and August there will be pond dipping and bug hunting from 10am till 12. On Tuesday's it will be pond dipping in the Snipe Field near the Centre and Thursday's will be bug hunting in the Raven Woods. No booking required, just turn up between those times to take part. Events are weather dependent so may be cancelled at short notice, keep an eye on our Facebook page for all the latest information.
There is progress on the redevelopment of the pond. An area has been selected to be a children's dipping pond and an area for an island has been constructed. There will also be floating islands which will be moved around according to where the best areas would be for their use. Water will start being pumped into the pond tomorrow, but in the meantime, the pictures below show how things are looking, or have looked recently. Click on the thumbnails...
Check out the new walking tour available on the Wilder Wander App. More details under Raven Nature Reserve menu at the top of the page.
