Newsletter December 2023

On our December working group was small but perfectly formed.
We removed some marsh marigolds from the large mud bank, before it is covered in silt. We have temporarily planted them ready to replant next year.

We will be back in the new year, until then enjoy the pond. Watch out if the weather is bad and it gets icy – stay away from the edge of the pond.

A happy and peaceful festive season from all of us at the South Pond.
