Learn about the amphibians who call Scotney home and then have a go pond dipping to discover what’s living beneath the surface. 
This free 'walk and talk' workshop is part of Scotney's Great Big Green Week Festival.

Our specialist newt and amphibian ranger will give a brief talk about the different types of amphibians living at Scotney and then will take participants to the usually off-limits location to pond dip. (Please do bear in mind that we cannot guarantee sightings.)
