School pond Froyle restoration

Can you help to restore an historic pond in Froyle which has silted up on Saturday 6th September 10am to 1pm?
We plan to remove about a quarter of the vegetation and silt to benefit the known population of great crested newts as well as other protected species. Recommend appropriate clothing, gloves and footwear for digging and moving silt. If you can, dofetch a spade or fork or ideally a wheelbarrow.
Please let me know if you can come along (even for just 1h) by contacting info@froylewildlife.co.uk . For more information see https://www.froylewildlife.co.uk/school-pond-froyle-restoration-6th-sept-2025/
