WILDLIFE POND CONSTRUCTION near Durham by PONDGURU

Uploaded by pondguru on Nov 15, 2009
Building a wildlife pond near Durham in North East England. This would be the third time the pond had been put in. First time was by BTCV (Volunteers) - Built using clay (dam wall leaked). Second time was by a local contractor using Visqueen (cheap plastic) - pond leaked. This time, the pond was installed using heavy underlay above and below a 1mm thick rubber liner. A new dipping platform was constructed to give better access to the pond. A large hibernaculum was also built for amphibians and possibly Grass Snakes. All wood was pressure treated for long life.

If I had time and no money needs, I would like to do some voluntary work for some conservation groups. Unless I win the lottery, that's a long way off though.

I have seen another good pond by my dear friend pondguru. It would look much better if lotus & water lilies grow in it as time passes. Some good rocks can also win the hearts. But its already a good work by you.

The plan is to put a few more plants in and around in the Spring, once the water settles.

We're fencing it off this week to keep dogs out as they go through it and stir up the clay base. It was never clear previously but should stay clear once it is fenced off and given time to settle. If constantly disturbed it would be no use to anything.
