Pond and Wetland Day - The Grange Project, Monmouthshire

Join us for a day of hands-on nature restoration at our youth-led rewilding project in Monmouthshire, Wales!

Who is this for?

For young people aged 18-30 interested in spending time outside and doing some hands-on nature recovery work!

What to expect:

Last year, loads of you took part in a session where we blocked some drains to create a small pond, and even tried our hand at water divining to search for water underground! Now we are leveling up our pond creation efforts and need your help to plant wetland plants, put the finishing touches on the ponds, and generally create a new wetland habitat.

About The Grange: 

Youngwilder's youth-led rewilding project sits on 31 acres of grassland and woodland, and is part of the wider Grange Project - definitely check them out.

Accessibility

The site is accessible along a clay road, that can get slippery when the weather has been wet. The site is hilly, with no paved paths. There are two pigs in the field next to the Youngwilders area and the ground there is bare and very lumpy. The lower sections of the sites can get very wet when the weather has been so. There is access to a toilet at the barn, and decent phone service throughout the site.
