About the event

Join Francesca, Crane Park Island's Visitor Engagement Assistant, at this pond dipping workshop designed to reconnect you with the natural world.

Ponds are an important habitat which support a huge variety of life, including some of our most threatened species.

The session will involve using nets to explore the life in the pond and is for over-18s and young people over 12 (accompanied by an adult).

This is a free event, but donations are welcome. All profits are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.
