Location: Auchincruive Estate
Activity: Pond Maintenance
As the first year students had a site visit to Stevenston Beach Local Nature Reserve, it was left to the hardy second years to do battle with the vegetation surrounding the wildlife pond at the bottom of Mount Allan Wood.
The task was the removal of over hanging trees from the pond to allow more light into the woodland floor, this then gives ground dwelling plants a better chance to grow.
As normal, the cut wood was left in habitat piles to provide cover for insects, small mammals and birds.
