Children and their parents are invited to embark on an underwater safari as ponds spring into life again following the long, cold winter months. Find out what lurks below the surface of the pond in Old Common, Cobham, on Saturday, March 17.

The Elmbridge Countryside Team is holding a drop-in session between 10am and noon.

Councillor Jan Fuller said: “The countryside events are a wonderful way for children and their parents or carers to explore and discover the natural world and have some really close encounters with wildlife.

“It is a fun and interactive way of learning more about the local fauna and flora.”

All equipment will be provided and staff will be on hand to help you identify your exciting catches.
