SMALL WAYS TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

Build a new pond

Once built, you can start planting it next month. Ensure it’s at least 75cm (2½ft) deep and has a sloping side for animals to get in and out.

Report frog sightings

Download the Froglife Dragon Finder app on your mobile and report amphibian and reptile sightings in your garden. Visit www.froglife.org.

Campaign for tunnels

Add your name to the petition to campaign for more wildlife tunnels. Search for ‘wildlife tunnels’ at www.change.org.

Don’t move spawn

Leave all spawn be, as moving it to a different pond can lead to the spread of invasive plants and amphibian diseases.
