Pond Dipping - May half term

Nestled between Leeds, York and Wakefield, Fairburn Ings nature reserve and St Aidan's nature park are havens for people and wildlife alike.Since we started on our mission in 1889, the threats to nature have continued to grow, but we have grown to meet them too. We’re now the largest nature conservation charity in the country, consistently delivering successful conservation, forging powerful new partnerships with other organisations and inspiring others to stand up and give nature the home it deserves.

Discover hidden worlds with a pond dipping session at Fairburn Ings!

RSPB Fairburn Ings

What’s beneath the surface? You’ll be amazed by the wildlife you can discover underwater at Fairburn Ings – will you find a mysterious dragonfly nymph, or a great diving beetle? Let’s get dipping!
A pond dipping slot gives your group exclusive access to our pond dipping platform for one hour, along with all the kit you’ll need and a demonstration from one of our team. 
The platform can accommodate a group of up to ten, and we will supply up to five sets of pond dipping kit for each group. Please note that each group must include at least one adult, and children must be supervised at all times.
All of our events are COVID secure – we will ask all attendees to observe hygiene procedures and social distancing, as well as Test and Trace. All pond dipping kit will be sanitised before use. All events remain subject to Government guidelines and may be cancelled, and refunds issued, if lockdown restrictions change.
