Owners - National Trust
Objectives;
Water Reed (Phragmites australis) has been encroaching on the pond over time the NT have decided to find a sustainable way of managing the vegetation. Previously using volunteers to cut back the vegetation has been labour intensive and had minimal impact. Mechanical cutting is very disturbing to the wildlife and due to the soft ground impractical.
Low Newton Pond, in Northumberland, is managed by The National Trust (NT).
The pond supports many breeding and migratory birds that can be seen from a bird hide on the western boundary. For this project we have decided document the journey here through keeping a diary style journal which can be seen on our blog.
