If you want to see a modern-day dragon, head down to Stroud Valleys Project’s annual survey of Great Crested Newts in Stonehouse on Friday 13^th (7.30-9PM) and Saturday 14^th April (7-8.30AM). 

Help SVP’s Green Team volunteers count Great Crested Newts, one of our local protected species. This annual survey is a rare opportunity to get a close-up view of newts and find out about their ecology.  We will set up newt-friendly traps on Friday evening, check them early on Saturday morning and release the newts back to where we found them. 

Wear wellies and outdoor gear, and bring a torch for the evening session. No toilets or refreshments on site. 

For details and to book a place contact Ivi Szaboova on 01453 753358 or 07876 050878 on the day of the event.
