Meet Pete. Pete the Pond.
Pete and his team will be working here for the rest of the week on the pond at Oathall. As part of the schools biodiversity work, his team will be renovating the pond which will involve a huge clear out and replanting project. Also they’ll build new fencing and a dipping platform so our students can enjoy exploring what species have made it their home over the years.
Pete is a qualified amphibian surveyor and holds a Great Crested Newt license. The pond renovation is taking place before the breeding season is in full swing to prevent disturbing any breeding newts.
It’s an exciting development for the school and we’ll keep you posted as to how they’re getting on throughout the week.
His obedient parrot is called Mango by the way. Where Pete goes, Mango goes.
