Wildlife pond project with 20m cascade
A large gravel filter, 20m cascade and planting beds were constructed to create a haven for wildlife. A water pump was installed within the gravel filter to deliver water to the cascade some 4m above the pond. Only native marginal and submerged water plants were used. Access to the pond was easy for wildlife thanks to the gravel filter and the design of the planting beds. After a season, the water plants produced a beautiful spectacle attracting many species of wild life including frogs, toads, newts, dragon flies and a whole range of water insects.
