Eaglesfield Park wildlife pond
Every autumn the Friends of Eaglesfield Park clear away vegetation from around the edges of the pond and growing in the pond to prevent the pond becoming overgrown. This includes removing invasive flag iris and reducing the size of the water lily. Some volunteers don waders and others work on the edge of the pond. Wellies are definitely an advantage.

The pond is a well-loved spot, and is visited by many local people and a haven for lots of wildlife, including ducklings and Egyptian geese. Our job today is joining the Friends of Eaglesfield Park to clear vegetation in and around the pond.

It doesn't look like wading will be involved but it will likely be a little muddy so wear appropriate footwear and bring some gloves if you have some.

Stay tuned for the exact location of the pond!
