More big ponds

July 13, 2024

I have loved ponds since i was a little boy. They have a massive effect on biodiversity. This is the 8th new clay-lined pond we have dug in the last few years and this one is a hum dinger! we are so lucky because glacial clay is never far away in this area. This is one of two new ponds in the Doctors Rest Reserve being dug out by Chris Bond, awesome work Chris, thank you!
