Friends of Severn Farm Pond

If you live in the Welshpool area, you might want to give back to one of your local nature reserves! Our Friends of Severn Farm Pond care for this tiny urban gem, doing anything from site maintenance to wildlife monitoring

Along with these regular work parties, we often undertake practical habitat management as part of our projects. Links to our existing projects are shown below; get in touch for further information.
