Report written by Jer Boon

Share the love

This morning we ran up to the city farm to perform some TLC on their pond.

Firstly, the pond was somewhat dry, so we attempted to unblock the inflow which was rather silted up.

The pond was dry, but still very very muddy, but we were able to wade out into the mud and clear out the sticks and stuff which have been thrown in and also remove some of the invasive weeds which were growing there.

Along the way we rescued a couple of newts. Jane got the most muddy, and Meyrick got the most stuck.


This task supported

Bath City Farm was set up by the local community in the early 1990s, when the resident farmer retired. It gained charitable status in 1995. Over the past 17 years there has been considerable progress on site, including introducing our Soay sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and pigs, a pony and most recently a flock of guinea fowl
