Volunteers needed- Wildfell Dragonfly Monitoring Project
15/10/2024
Ground Control are looking for volunteers to assist in establishing a dragonfly monitoring project on their site Wildfell in Braintree, Essex.
In 2021, the Evergreen Fund made a £2 million investment in the 296-acre estate to transform the ex-arable farm as a showcase of Biodiversity Net Gain and Carbon Sequestration design, delivery, and management innovation in action. Biological recording work is currently taking place to determine the impact of the management, the results of which will guide future environmental recovery works. As part of the project a number of new ponds were created and Ground Control is interested in recording what species of dragonflies they attract over the coming years. If you are interested in this opportunity and would like to learn more please contact Conservation Officer Eleanor Colver:
