Keeping the Blue Peter pond clean

After the clean water makeover of the Blue Peter pond earlier in the year, here’s Katy last week when we topped it up with clean rainwater.

The good news: because everyone had taken great care not to top up the pond with tapwater, conductivity was still only 115. Very encouraging.

Plenty of baby newts, and a good mix of other animals: on Big Pond Dip the cleaned up pond scores a good 38, mainly becuase of the damselflies and alderflies.
