Project duckling gets underway

Project Duckling has got off to a ‘quacking’ start as our nursery children watched some new islands being installed on Burgess Lake. The islands are part of an initiative by Friends of Burgess Park to provide a safe place for waterfowl to build their nests, once planting is established.

Our children will be helping to grow the pond plants and hopefully watch the waterfowl enjoy their new nesting place. The islands arrived on Wednesday 2 December and bankside restoration is set to take place in spring 2021 to help keep the area healthy for local wildlife. To find out more about the project including how to volunteer to help with the bankside restoration, please visit the Friends of Burgess Park website.
