We admire ponds for their beauty, and they provide homes for some of our most important indigenous wildlife. They are not always self-sustaining, however, and so Chris McClaren provides a user's guide to the world of ponds: how to create one, how to maintain one, and how to introduce wildlife to this idyllic pool to help it thrive. Along the way, McClaren discusses what fish are sustainable in smaller ponds, how to link the pond to a wildlife corridor, and how it will be affected by the seasons.
