Making and Managing Wildlife Ponds Course
  Making and Managing Wildlife Ponds Course
Summary
How do you make and maintain a larger scale wildlife pond ?
This one day course is aimed at gardeners, landowners, landscapers and contractors and aims to cover all aspects of establishing and managing larger sized ponds. It will be a hands on day which will give you the opportunity to learn everything about wildlife ponds including siting, design, excavation, lining, and planting. We hope to end up with a completed pond. The next course will be in 2011; dates to be announced.

I can't tell you how much I appreciated the pond course... I thought the choice of tutors was brilliant. They really knew their stuff and were very helpful. (Helen, Devon)

Venue
The course venue is The Old Rectory, Lamyatt, Somerset (Habitat Aid's beautiful HQ), where we will also host lunch.
