@froglifers #dementiafriendly Wild Times group spotted #tadpoles in various stages of growth in 'Tom's Pond' plus 2 adults well hidden in the #wildlifefriendly #communitygarden
@froglifers #dementia friendly Wild Times group have been giving the @BandstandBeds #tadpoles a weeky helping hand over the hot dry summer by topping up the pond using water from a butt of water left standing for several days.
Check out these brilliant Berry paintings created with residents living with #dementia at @nhslambeth Specialist Care Unit, Greenvale as part of @froglifers #leapingforwardfordementia @CityBridgeTrust funded programme.
We used water-colour & pens to add finishing touches 🍓🫐

We're excited to confirm some of the @BandstandBeds #communitygarden #spawn made it to the #froglet stage! These little fingernail-sized #frogs were spotted during a #LeapingForwardForDementia session, but some are still #tadpoles with no legs!

Our #TransformingLives trainee, Vaughan, was out & about on 1 of our #reserves recently & took these stunning photos. There is a huge variety of #species that call our reserves home & we do all we can to preserve them.
