SARG NEWS - 03 June 2010


  • If you have a garden pond with tadpoles - watch out for froglets emerging over the next two weeks. If you have a lawn which is regularly mowed, it might be a good idea to keep the grass as short as possible over the next couple of months, otherwise the small froglets will seek cover in the long grass and may risk a nasty end when you do get the lawnmower out. Keeping the grass short will encourage them to seek shelter in hedgerows and flower borders.
  • On Sunday 6th June, SARG will be manning a stall at the Guildford Springwatch 'Wild day out' event in Shalford Park. As usual, we will have a collection of wild reptiles and amphibians, which will spend the day in vivaria, before being returned to the countryside at the end of the day. SARG experts will be fielding questions from the public, and providing advice to promote the conservation of the animals.
