Meet “James Pond” – Boston Grammar School gardening club’s amazing new wildlife pond!
Built with lots of digging, lining & planting, it’s a fantastic new habitat & a great addition to the #BostonAndBeyond wildlife corridor.

Last September, our #BostonAndBeyond project restored two ponds at Jenny’s Wood—and just months later they’re thriving! Teeming with life and already home to frogspawn.

Our #BostonAndBeyond team visited Boston Grammar School.
Students learned how to support #amphibians & #reptiles & built mini wildlife gardens from LEGO!
Excitingly, a new pond has been marked out in the walled garden. We’ll be back soon to dig it!

Rain, wind & mud didn’t stop the amazing team at Hawthorn Tree Primary School!
Staff & pupils worked with our #BostonAndBeyond team to line & plant their new wildlife pond.
Now they're watching for frogspawn & toadspawn as breeding season begins.

Froglife Ecological Services has created a brand new pond at Wyberton Allotments!
Part of our #BostonAndBeyond project, this new habitat will support local wildlife, and we can’t wait to see what moves in over the coming months!
Our #BostonAndBeyond team have been at Wyberton West Allotments creating a new pond to strengthen their wildlife corridor.
Despite muddy conditions, Froglife Ecological Services shaped a vital habitat for amphibians
Thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund & Lincolnshire Community Foundation!
A huge thank you to St Botolph's Church for hosting a #BostonandBeyond stall at their “Celebrate Boston” event!
Our team loved chatting with the community about local species & the project, and connecting with other Boston groups.
Our #BostonAndBeyond team were back at The Community Growers CIC lining & planting the pond in the children’s wellbeing garden.
From muddy trenches & a full refill, everyone got stuck in!
thanks Lincolnshire Community Foundation & #NationalLottery players for making it possible.
Over the past few weeks, our #BostonAndBeyond team have been inspiring Cubs, Beavers & Scouts to support native #amphibians and #reptiles.
Using LEGO wildlife gardens, young environmentalists explored how ponds, log piles & hibernacula can make a real difference at home.
Our #BostonAndBeyond project joined the Boston Voluntary Sector Forum recently.
They shared plans for pond creation, restoration & learning opportunities, and connected with local charities.
Winter may seem quiet, but nature is still there.
At Hampton Nature Reserve, species like this common lizard are hidden away in hibernacula.
Abby from our #BostonAndBeyond project recently visited our Peterborough reserves to explore these habitats.
Our #BostonAndBeyond team has begun creating a new wildlife area at Lincolnshire Farm School, building the site’s first dead hedge with brilliant Year 11s from Bridge House Independent School.
Thanks to “Dead Hedge Dave” & support from Lincolnshire Community Foundation
Cold days at our #BostonAndBeyond sites ❄️
The team can be seen here carefully melting pond ice to allow access for wildlife.
Melting, not smashing, reduces temperature shock for pond life.
Meet Abby, our new #BostonandBeyond Trainee!
In her first weeks at Froglife she’s been visiting project sites, including RSPB Frampton Marsh, seeing newly created ponds that support amphibians & other wildlife.
Our #BostonAndBeyond team spent the morning at The Communitygrowers CIC, & what a brilliant session it was!
Together they dug out a wildlife pond for their children’s wellbeing garden - creating another vital habitat to support reptiles & amphibians.
They were even lucky enough to spot a frog!
Celebrating International Men’s Day on 19th Nov!
Our #BostonandBeyond team joined BroProUK and Community Connector, Boston UK, at The Len Medlock Voluntary Centre to explore how we can welcome wildlife into our gardens and green spaces.
To finish the session, everyone made DIY birdfeeders.
Our #BostonandBeyond team visited Boston’s Wellbeing Hub to boost green spaces!
Particpants made DIY bird feeders for local birds at the Food Bank Garden.
Everyone can make space for nature—garden, balcony, or small outdoor corner!

Our #BostonAndBeyond team spent the morning at Cuckoo Land Allotments building bird boxes made by the Boston Men’s Shed
Autumn is perfect for putting them up. Many birds roost in bird boxes to keep warm over the colder months.
Thanks to National Lottery players & The National Lottery Heritage Fund
