Nature and Natter (Trumpington Meadows): Pond dipping for adults

Nature and Natter is a programme of monthly sociable activities aimed at adults, with an environmental or nature twist and a focus on friendly chat. They are either on a Wednesday evening or a Saturday morning and are either on Cambourne Nature Reserve, or Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve.

On October's session we'll wander to the pond looking at wildlife along the way, and then do some pond dipping to look for freshwater invertebrates.
