Our #BostonAndBeyond team used bottle trapping during GCN training, building skills in amphibian surveying and ID ahead of gaining licences.
Seen here are smooth and great crested newts.

Last winter this #BostonAndBeyond pond was freshly dug.
Today it's bursting with pond plants, freshwater invertebrates and shelter for amphibians and reptiles.
Proof that when we create habitats, nature responds!

Pupils from Boston West Academy built a new hibernacula with our #BostonAndBeyond team.
Using logs, soil, bricks and natural materials, the students created an important sheltering space for amphibians and reptiles to use throughout the year.
