Pond dipping is such a great activity to enjoy with children — it brings back many happy memories. There is definitely an element of excitement each time you dip in the net and bring it back up. Ponds and marshes are teeming with wildlife, plants and amphibians; little underwater worlds full of weird and wonderful creatures.
That said, there has been a dramatic decline in pond life over the past 50 years, mainly because of habitat loss. Frog Life is a national conservation charity that works to recreate these spaces and improve biodiversity levels in the community. Go to froglife.org, where you can record your findings and learn how to be a toad patroller.
