How to sign-up?
The workshop is free to attend, but sign-up is essential. Email Will at william.johanson@froglife.org or call or text on 07494 761307 referencing ‘Friends of Falmer Pond Froglife Workshop’ and the number of attendees you are booking for.
FAQS:
- Refreshments: Hot drinks and biscuits will be provided on both days.
- Children: Under 18s/children are welcome to attend, however must be accompanied by an adult. The workshop content is designed for adults with an interest in applying the skills they learn for future volunteering, so will be less accessible for children. Froglife runs further pond & amphibian learning workshops for children through the Discovering Dewponds project, with these shared through the events page.
- Dogs: Well-behaved dogs are welcome on day one (Falmer Village Hall) of the workshop, but unfortunately we cannot permit dogs on day two (Stanmer Park).
- Equipment to bring: Pen, notepad, mug, weather appropriate clothing, gardening gloves, lunch.
We will provide spare gloves, mugs and appropriate equipment and tools.
