Bat Box Examination - 20 April 2024
A great morning with Tricia from Warwickshire Bat Group. She opened all the bat boxes and whilst we unfortunately didn't find any bats, there was evidence they've been there in the past and we discovered that some of them need replacing. Watch this space as we'll book her again to check the boxes in due course.

Wildflower Meadow
Any recent visitors to Myton Pool will notice that the top half of the Wildflower meadow was cut and cleared. Thanks you to the strimmers and clearers for all their hard work. The grass that was cleared was put on our 'brash' pile, where over time it will decompose. The brash pile is also a valuable wildlife habitate, where creatures can hibernate over winter. While the strimming and clearing was going on a number of insects and toads found and they were carefully relocated.
New Fence - a new fence has been costructed from natural materials from the Pool area, to protect the recently planted Butchers Broom Plants and to make the weir safe.
