Pond Restoration Training: 3-4th July 2025

from £234.00

Ponds are increasingly being recognised as critical to biodiversity conservation in UK landscapes. This new two-day course will introduce participants to pond restoration science and best practice. Greaves & Sayer of the Pond Restoration Research Group at University College London (UCL) are co-founders of the Norfolk Ponds Project and have been restoring ponds and studying pond restorations for over 15 years. Following publication of the recent “Guide to the Restoration, Creation and Management of Ponds”, they are keen to pass on lessons learnt. The course will include lectures, workshops and field visits focused on the restoration of degraded existing ponds and in-filled “ghost ponds”.

It will introduce participants to science showing the benefits of restoring and resurrecting ponds for freshwater and terrestrial biodiversity and the key DOs and DON’TS of pond restoration, covering pond selection and key considerations during the restoration process. The course will also cover the engagement of landowners and farmers, as well as the general public, with pond conservation, as well as routes for funding pond conservation work. Participants will see a Norfolk Ponds Project restored pond landscape lost in rural farmland that will inform, inspire, and set an example for what is possible.

Participants on all FBA courses must be 18 years and above.

Date: 3rd - 4th July, 2025

Location: Heydon Village, North Norfolk

Tutor: Helen Greaves & Carl Sayer
