We are unable to be at Gibside today, which is a shame as it’s
another fine day. However, we have decided to publish some archive photographs
to show the range of tasks we undertake.
There is grass
cutting:

During the spring and summer months we are also involved with undertaking wildlife surveys around the estate.

There are many ponds to survey.

We have even done surveys at night - for bats and newts.
