Pond dipping at Bishop’s Palace

Posted 4 December 2023


The Bishop’s Palace in Wells hosted a ‘Nature Connection Course’ throughout September. Based on the National Academy input and with support from Somerset Wildlife Trust each week has focused on connecting to nature through the themes of ‘contact, ‘meaning’, ‘compassion’ and ‘beauty’. The course was a great success with participants enjoying the opportunity to connect to nature in new ways whilst also connecting to each other through the shared experience.

This photo was taken of participants ‘pond dipping’ to discover some of the wildlife that often goes unnoticed at Bishop’s Palace.
