Description
This pond is believed to be fed by rainfall and/or groundwater only. The pond has been without water but still damp from the middle of 2025 until Spring 2026 due to the dry summer and winter. Willow trees have grown up and are blocking sunlight on the south side of the pond. Scrub trees and shrubs are encroaching on the pond.
Rotational management of the surrounding scrub to push this back from the edges and the coppicing of the willow will allow sunlight and space for emergent plants. A small area is planned to be deepened to allow water to remain in the pond throughout the year, even on dry years.
