The theme of this wild family day is ponds! Come along and find some of the most fantastic and ferocious beasts that live beneath the surface – will you be lucky enough to find mighty dragonfly nymphs, water scorpions or the magnificent great silver diving beetles? Our expert volunteers will be on hand to help show you what to do and identify what you find, and all equipment is provided.
