Copyhold Farm
Mend the Gap supported Copyhold Farm in Goring Heath to establish a wildlife pond and help enable effective management of the woodland.
The Project
Copyhold’s Farm pond has been planted with a variety of plant species to offer cover for tadpoles and other larvae and offer shade for other aquatic species. There would also be a top-up facility to prevent the pond from drying out.
The proposal also also included removing an old pheasant pen from an area of woodland, so the area of ancient woodland could be managed fore effectively.
Completion
The pond has been completed, along with the removal of the pheasant pen.
