The Freshwater Habitats Trust has created a guide on how to create a garden pond for wildlife.
The Trust’s Dr Jeremy Biggs made a pond in his garden, following the guidelines of clean and shallow water. The result is a pond full of wildlife.
The Trust says: “Are you thinking of making a garden pond for wildlife? Take a look at our booklet, Creating Garden Ponds for Wildlife. It’s packed with tips and practical advice for making your pond a refuge for lots of different plants and animals.”
