South Pond Group

Community Action for thriving wildlife and a greener open space for all to enjoy.

... But we'll need a little patience! The bank will need to be strimmed this year to control grasses & allow the tiny plugs to establish

[South Pond Group @SouthPondGroup]

All native wildflowers these plants will boost the biodiversity & visual appeal of the areas around #Midhurst's Grange & South Pond...

[South Pond Group @SouthPondGroup]

Volunteers from local community & helpers from @SDNPA planted 1500 #wildflower plug plants today. What an achievement! Thanks to everyone!

Ah that's better! Half of fence down at #southpond by SDNPA vols. Next section next weekend with @SouthPondGroup

[South Pond Group @SouthPondGroup]

@denwsussex thank you for your feedback, we hope that as works progress you will continue to follow the project & feel it is positive

[South Pond Group @SouthPondGroup]

@denwsussex however flooding is one of a number of management & improvement areas that we hope current/future works will help improve

[South Pond Group @SouthPondGroup]

@denwsussex it is regrettable that this has resulted in some impact from the vehicles. Recent flooding has exacerbated the issue of mud

[South Pond Group @SouthPondGroup]

@denwsussex the majority of vehicular access has been to enable council workers and external contractors to carry out restoration works

[South Pond Group @SouthPondGroup]

@denwsussex we are sorry to hear you are disappointed with the current situation at the pond.

[South Pond Group @SouthPondGroup]

Great excitement during today's SouthPondGroup Volunteer work party - the launch of our brand new maintenance boat! https://t.co/tze59DVocp
