Site management takes place during the winter months (October-February). This is to protect rare species that are active during the summer. Therefore, there are limited tasks available during the summer months. It is best to contact us early if you wish to take part in a community-related task.   

If you are a group of 12 or fewer, it may be possible for the Fleet Pond Society to lead your group. Please do not let charges put you off and contact us should you have a small, not-for profit group and we will see if there are volunteers available on your required date.
