The Trust make further improvements to the pond

THE TRUST MAKE FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO THE POND.
Friends of Speckled wood Volunteers were busy in the Wood today Removing two very large and extremely heavy stones from the stream and using them to re-enforce the dam in the pond.  Two stones where selected from an area which was blocking the stream.

This went very well as the heavy stones were lifted from the stream and the put on a wheel barrow to move them onto their new location. The stones raised the water height falling by 8cm . The Trust hope this will help the fall of the water to allow the stream to excavate the pond as it used too before it got silted up. Several pieces of metal where pulled out from the pond floor and taken to the skip. Whilst we was working we was lucky to see damsel flies buzzing around the pond.

The Trust still needs more volunteers to help with the clearance. If you would like to help please contact us and we will arrange for a brief discussion to explain working arrangements.
