Good news story on our Great Crested Newt ponds. Through developer funding, FGS Pilcher have been awarded contracts to deliver newt ponds across the Stour and Medway river catchments, over the past five years. Habitat Regeneration have helped to find suitable sites and delivered seven of these ponds across one of our
rented farms, Coldharbour Farm. These have been delivered on a staggered basis over the last four years. Revisiting and carrying out EDNA samples has shown that four of the seven ponds now contain Great Crested Newts. The photos below show how one of the pond creations at Coldharbour is maturing, the first photo is one year post completion, and the second picture is three years later.
