Pond Dipping

Go on an underwater adventure!

Not all wildlife is easy to find - in this session you can see what is living in our pond!

Join our education manager Vicky at Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve as she explains how to pond dip safely and how to make sure you have little impact on the environment.

You could even make your own wildlife pond. Learn how here. 

Safety first!

Please only try this activity if you are supervised by a grown up and there are no restrictions in place at your location. 
Please make sure you wash your hands after pond dipping and over all cuts on your hands. Learn more about the hazards.
