“No Newts is Bad Newts”
Through the Gloucestershire Biodiversity Partnership’s “No Newts is Bad Newts” project, SVP was contracted to establish the extent of Great Crested Newts in Eastington parish. Nine ponds were surveyed during June 2008 with the threatened newt being identified in two of the ponds surveyed. Having identified the existence of the newts, pond restoration works were carried out by SVP to allow in more light and create more open water thereby improving the habitat.
