More than just a place to relax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Artificial ponds are shallow waters, which are designed close to nature, and can be a valuable substitute habitat for animals and plants that otherwise live in shallow marginal areas of natural ponds or lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, the banks of larger artificial ponds should be lined by some woody plants of the softwood floodplain, e.g. the goat or white willow. Depending on the vegetation and environmental conditions in the respective pond section, many animal species can also be found here. In general, the more numerous and variable the individual habitats at a site, thehigher the biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider a near-natural design when setting up a pondUse native plantsChoose a predominantly sunny locationIf the conditions are right, animals will colonize the pond themselvesFill the pond with rainwater (e.g. through an inlet from the roof drainage)<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
