This month, as part of the new projects on the reserve, the Wildlife Explorers Conwy worked on a cool new feature – Tegi the Earth Dragon.Tegi is made from mounds of earth. A builder made Tegi for kids to play on and it was our job to lay grass seed on Tegi.We were each given a bit to work on. First we picked out big stones from the earth, then we got a gardening fork and gloves and started turning over the earth.Then we raked the stones down, gave it a quick water and then got given a box of grass seed which we scattered across the earth in our area.We covered the seed with a thin layer of soil and then we gave it a quick water and then we were done.In about a month Tegi will turn green with grass and kids will be able to play on Tegi soon.
