Ponds
Volunteers help build a pond at the Blue Mountains Planetary Health Centre
Easy to build & with many benefits
Ponds moderate climate, making your garden warmer in winter and cooler in summer. They also provide water and habitat for multiple species, and are especially important during drought, fire and heatwave.
They are easy to build in a few hours and we have built ponds with the community at the Planetary Health Centre (watch our video below). Information to consider when building a pond
On a larger scale, ponds are a nature-based solution to mitigate the impact of both flood and drought. Read more research here
