• creation of a log pile for insects and wildlife (butterflies, frogs, hedgehogs among others)
• planting of wildflower plugs on the Wetland borders (particular plant species to support the establishment of breeding areas for particular butterflies)
• establish a site to seed a nettle bed (in a protected area)

All welcome, there will be activities suitable for children - wear clothes for gardening and bring your favourite gardening hand tools. We will have spare gloves and tools for those needing them. If staying for the day bring a picnic and drinks.
