Nesting ponds
Nesting ‘Ponds’ will encourage denser cover on heathland for ground nesting birds and reptiles

This archive records the many tasks which have occupied members of Horsham Green Gym each week for several years and will bring back many happy memories. Unfortunately, many of the names of the sites are wrong. This was due to a data processing error when changing from an older site design to this one. However, the information about the tasks is correct.

If any members have appropriate photos which could be added to the Archive or to the flickr pages, please use the contact details.
