There is plenty of nature to see around the lake, with the swans and ducks being a favourite, but there is plenty going on underneath them too!

With the help of an expert, we took a metaphorical dive into what lives in the lakes, springs and ponds around the site, and found some really interesting creatures!

These include dragon- and damselfly larvae, water beetles and a water stick insect, all of which are part of a healthy ecosystem.

The beautiful 281 acres of Wicksteed Park that these creatures call home is lovingly cared for by Wicksteed Charitable Trust. Find out more about the charity and how you can support by sending us a message or by heading to our website: https://wicksteedpark.org/about-wicksteed-park/wicksteed-charitable-trust/
