This session is for volunteers both familiar with STAA and those who are completely new. Come along to help us regularly, just this once, or to try something out! *This session is part of our regular Saturday wildlife volunteering on Urban Nature, where we will come together as a team to manage our wildlife areas, and learn about the technique and theory while we are doing it.It is a great time of year to clear out the ponds - this will keep them healthy for the abundance of wildlife that live in and visit them!We will also continue the construction of our pond viewing platforms. A﻿longside the pond work, we will tidy and clear the areas around them and finish the last outstanding meadow management. A busy and varied day all round!Suitable for all skills and abilities: the session is practical and will focus on improving the habitat of the wildlife areas.
