Volunteers have been surveying the new ponds at Holyland Wood to look for signs of life. Although very new, the ponds are already home to some wildlife, including several three-spined sticklebacks!

Local student Lara Thomas, who attends Ysgol y Preseli, said: "It's so great to be able to see the pond coming to life. It's very important to continue to create spaces like this for wildlife, and it's really helpful to get some practical experience of ecological surveys!"

The ponds have proven very popular so far, and have made a TV appearance on S4C.

The ponds were created as part of a wider education project run by Pembroke 21C Community Association focused on Pembroke Millponds and Holyland Wood. Keep an eye out for other exciting activities, including holiday activities for all the family and Wild Club - a children's wildlife club run from Foundry House Community Centre during term-time. The project is supported by funding from Natural Resources Wales and from the Port of Milford Haven.

If you or your group are interested in helping monitor the pond as it develops its own unique wildlife or would like to know more about the project, please contact the millpond education officers on [email protected]">[email protected], pop into Foundry House or call 01646 680090.
