Join our rangers for a pond dipping session this half term!
Using nets, trays and magnifying glasses and guided by one of our rangers, come and discover the creatures that live in the ponds at Stanwick Lakes! After a safety briefing and an introduction to the creatures we’re likely to find, we’ll head to the pond dipping platform where you will be given a pond dipping kit! The Ranger will be on hand with identification keys to help you work out which creatures you have caught as well as to share knowledge about the pond ecosystem and the many species that call it home.
Sessions last approx. 30 minutes and a responsible adult must be present throughout.
Meet at the Ranger Cabin 5 mins before and your chosen, ticketed start time.
Please check our website on the day of your session for information regarding flooding – wellies may be advisable!
Please also note no refunds will be given so please check your chosen dates carefully before booking.
