Residents and more than 100 children of the upper Bourne Valley enjoyed
another hot, sunny & eventful day by the stream learning about the
wildlife on their doorstep.
Entertainments included mask- and badge-making and
story-telling. There were live spiders, butterflies and other bugs
to look at and learn about, and children took part in a competition to
design a new logo for the Bourne Valley Nature Reserve - the winner to be
announced soon.
The hugely popular pond dipping with the
Hi-Tech Wild Trek
Trailer found an impressive 29 aquatic species living in Scott Road
pond - and that's 12 months after the pollution event that killed hundreds
of fish (species list below).
And good news about fish too - we saw hundreds if not
thousands of fish fry in the ponds and stream!
