Contribute to the Million Ponds Project targets!
Anyone who can create a new clean water pond can contribute to the Million Ponds Project. We want to encourage everyone who can, to join in.
Criteria
To contribute to the pond creation targets, a new pond needs to fulfill three criteria. The new pond needs
1. a clean water source.
2. to be left to colonise naturally.
3. to be left to thrive without undue disturbance.
An explanation of why these factors are so important and how to achieve them is given in Factsheet 2 of the Million Ponds Project.
Following these guidelines brings many benefits, not only will the ponds be very rich in wildlife throughout their lifetime, but most ponds will also be longer-lived and need less management than typical countryside ponds.
We hope many thousands of people will join in to bring wonderful and diverse small waterbodies back to the countryside.
