We now have an instagram account and have been happily posting pictures of the wildlife on the site from a recent pond dipping session.
You can find us @rossettnature we also have our latest photographs showing at the bottom of our website so you can catch up there.
On Wednesday 13th April at 5pm we will be doing some litter picking on the site. We regularly make sure the site is clean and free of litter and as we head towards lighter nights and warmer weather this is a perfect opportunity.
For those wishing to join us meet at the bollards next to the site and help support your community.

Saturday 16th January was a day to remember. After days and days of non stop rain the sun came out and shone on Sam Walker and his harem – 5 volunteers from the RLNR group, the Bilton Conservation group and HANDBAG.
Sam and one of the volunteers were quickly into their waders and began the laborious task of pulling crassula (an invasive weed) out of Tritirus pond. It was then loaded onto wheelbarrows and trundled up to the hole, which had been dug by a mechanical digger the day before and buried.
The weather was kind to us and the sun shone all morning. The most difficult and gruelling job was putting the soil back into the hole that had so easily been dug out by a machine! back breaking but a good work out, no gym or jogging needed.
