Ponds

Freshwater ponds can be an exciting addition to any yard or schoolyard. They can range in size from a small barrel to a large pond complete with fish and fancy habitat features. In addition to providing a ready water source and valuable habitat for a variety of plants and animals, ponds provide many opportunities for a variety of engaging educational activities and investigations.
