Pond clearing
Today was the last in our series of Breathing Places tasks this summer. We made a focus on clearing the ponds of plants like Water soldier and Bog bean. These if left unchecked will dominate the other vegetation and cause the pond to dry out. By keeping the pond with areas of open water will provide a suitable habitat for insects like dragonflies and damselflies. We also cut and raked the meadow areas to improve the potential for wildflowers next year.
