Pond maintenance season is upon us!

Our team were back at Jenny’s Wood, clearing back reeds that have been spreading around the ponds.

With the ground still relatively dry, now is the perfect time to carry out this work before the autumn and winter rains arrive and water levels rise. Keeping ponds open and well managed helps maintain valuable habitat for the amphibians and other wildlife that rely on these important wetland spaces.

A huge thank you to The Boston Woods Trust volunteers for all your hard work! It was great to share knowledge and practical tips on the best approaches to pond maintenance, helping ensure these ponds can continue to be cared for in the years to come.

None of this work would be possible without the support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund, players and Anglian Water - Love Every Drop - thank you!

We’re delighted to share that Abby from our team has now received both necessary references to obtain her GCN licence and is officially certified to survey for all UK newt species.

The discovery of newts in one of the restored ponds at Jenny’s Wood is a fantastic development for the project and has created new opportunities for surveying.

During the period when newts are most active in the water, surveys can be carried out to identify which species are present in an area and estimate numbers. For great crested newts, a licence is required to carry out surveys due to their protected status.

Interested in getting licenced? Check out our great crested newt licencing courses as a first step: https://ow.ly/XAAc50ZMteq
