Ponds
The Wildlife Trust recommends adding a pond as one of the best ways to attract new wildlife to a garden. As well as being an appealing feature a pond can attract frogs, toads, newts and a variety of insects such as dragonflies, mayflies and pond skaters.
Creation of ponds should consider health & safety and the ongoing maintenance of the water level. Often ponds don’t need to be planted but will colonise naturally over time. Make sure you include details on the size of your pond.
