Snails in the Garden Pond

🐌 Drumroll, please… the great pond mud snail census is complete! 🔬 The team has been counting the snails and found that they are positively thriving in our conservation breeding facility. We recorded over 3,000 pond mud snails, and not only that, but they’re breeding too! 🌿 These tiny gastropods help break down decaying plants and recycle nutrients, playing an important role in the balance of the environment. Our plans are to release them into the Pentland Hills to help support the population
