Soil Mound Ponds

   The new water bodies around the earth mound are just about finished. The new scrape will flood during the winter when ground water levels rise but is able to hold some permanent water at it's base right through the summer.
   Hoping to attract a great range of invertebrates  for the area. The top of the mound consisting of loose soil for species who like to dig their own burrows, with large boulders at the base creating cracks and crevasses for those species who like to make use of the shelter already formed at the base.
   The pond is fully clay lined and can be artificially filled from the river to give us another guaranteed water body even in very dry periods such as we've had over the last 2 summers.
