Popley Ponds Conservation Work Party

A wide range of different work, including coppicing, scrub bashing, pond clearance, and species surveys. Our licensed newt handler usually manages to find some of our resident newts for everyone to see, together with other interesting species.

Our main aim is to maintain the habitat that supports our population of the Great Crested Newts, which resulted in the site being designated as a Local Nature Reserve.  In reality we aim to achieve much more than that, helping all types of local wildlife to thrive
