Barnes Conservation, a part of Barnes Common Ltd, are undertaking an exciting survey project to map all the garden ponds in the Richmond Borough and to find out where Frogs, Toads and Newts are living and breeding.

Barnes Conservation needs your help to identify the best places locally for Frogs, Toads and Newts to help them prioritise which ponds to restore and where to build new ponds. These animals are declining in numbers due to habitat loss, disease, climate, pollution and invasive species. These threats are all present in urban environments, making it a challenging place for them to live. 

The survey will help applications for grants for habitat restoration in Palewell Park and Sheen Common.
