THE POND IN KNOWLE PARK

The major works on the pond have now been completed.  It might still look rather murky, which is to be expected after way the bottom was stirred up.  We are assured that it will gradually clear, helped by the planting of marginal and floating plants over the next few months.  The bundles of sticks on the far side will help to filter water coming down the bank, to reduce the amount of silt entering the pond and keeping it clear.
The ducks are already very happy, I saw one taking nesting material into the duck house yesterday!

KNOWLE’S NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

Are you interested in our natural surroundings?  Do you have a little time to help it thrive? The Society’s Natural Environment Committee are very keen to boost its pool of volunteers so they can achieve their aims of enhancing Knowle and protecting our wildlife and plants.

If you’d like to know more, email environment@knowlesociety.org.uk
This is not an onerous thing to take on, you just need to be available when it is convenient to you.  The more volunteers, the more that can be achieved.

Come and see the Wychwood Avenue nature trail

The Knowle Streamside Trust are running a self-guided nature trail at the above site from June 29th to July 13th.  The idea is that you pick up a leaflet on site and follow instructions. Please see details on the poster by clicking the link below.
