Last week our team of staff and volunteers spent a couple of
days helping out a local school in York, Long Marston, to improve their nature
area and wildlife pond, which will hopefully help inspire an interest in the
natural environment with the young children. Our team of volunteers first
attended on Tuesday to help carry out some of the initial work, clearing out
the pond and replacing the liner, and getting the site ready for a team of
Natural England staff from the York office who kindly used their corporate
volunteering and development day on Thursday to help further improve the pond.
Whilst there the team also helped construct a boardwalk and pond dipping platform with Reserve Manager Fallon Mahon, using timber donated from Jewsons to the Friends of the LDV. Many thanks to everyone for the hard work helping to improve this valuable wildlife area – there was certainly plenty of interest from the pupils on the day which was great to see – roll on spring!
