Million Ponds Project
For large scale pond complexes and clean-water countryside ponds we suggest that you visit the Million Ponds Project section of our web-site - which has the pond creation toolkit, species dossiers ans lots more information on creating ponds in the countryside and on aggregate sites.
Garden Pond Creation and Management
If you are thinking of making a new pond, follow our step by step guide to making a new pond for wildlife. You can also visit the Big Pond Dip to find out also more about the animals you might see in and around your ponds.
What’s in your Pond
Do the Big Pond Dip and tell us what lives in your garden pond! You can visit our Big Pond Dip pages to find out more about why this national survey is so important, and to help you identify the aminals you find, plus lots more information about all the creatures living in your pond.
Looking for funding?
Pond Conservation are not able to provide funding for pond projects (with the exception of some of the ponds created for the Million Ponds Project). There are other local and national bodies which do provide funding. For a list of potential funders click here.
