Pond Life Recording Kit In Stock Now

Why survey? Almost 70% of the UK’s natural ponds have been lost and species such as dragonflies, waterbugs and great crested newts have declined rapidly over the past 40 years. Over 65% of all Britain’s freshwater species live in ponds meaning there are an incredibly important habitat. By surveying what is in your pond, you can work out what actions to take and how best to look after it. You can also identify what species you are missing and work to make your pond more desirable for them. By undertaking the OPAL Water Survey you can also assess how healthy a lake or pond is, by looking at what animals and plants are living in and around it.

This kit has been provided by Surrey Wildlife Trust (SWT). After borrowing this kit, you may wish to sign-up for SWT's Wilder Communities (https://www.surreywildlifetrust.org/get-involved/projects/wilder-communities).
