Making space for the Great Crested Newt!

Through January to April, TVBC staff are conducting Great Crested Newt (GCN) surveys on site at Abbotswood Local Nature Reserve. These surveys – led by Daisy our license holder – require access to all the ponds at the reserve (including the attenuation basins).
 
The Wilder Romsey team have kindly spent the last two task dates helping us make safe, subtle access points around the ponds for staff to be able to conduct these surveys safely (especially important as we survey in the dark).
 
The turnout on both occasions was fantastic, with 9 volunteers at each task. A huge thanks to those who come and support and help Gemma the Reserves Officer 😊
 
On our latest count, we had 99 GCNs in on evening – our hard work is paying off!
