Conservation at Somervale

The Year 10 Somervale Curriculum Enrichment Group joined forces with BTCV Environmental Conservation Group at Silver Street Wood on Friday 25th September. The group are currently clearing an ancient natural pond to restore it to its former glory. Pupils; Sam Watts, Katie Britt and Natalie Seymour spent the afternoon with spades and wheelbarrows removing silt to allow the natural stream to once again flow into the pond area.

Mrs Mitchard and Mr Didymus were really impressed with the attitude and motivation of the pupils who were rewarded at the end of the session by seeing the pond begin to fill.
