Create adjacent habitat– apond doesn’t just work in isolation, it’s part of a network of habitats around your garden. Help wildlife move between these areas by letting grass grow along one edge of the pond (tall grass gives perfect cover for young toads and frogs leaving the pond), growing some denser shrubs nearby(so birds can approach the pond safely, with cover from predators such as sparrowhawks) and keeping at least one section of the pond edge open and sunny to allow for basking reptiles such as grass snakes. Featuring multiple floors and dozens of engaging exhibits, the Maine State Museum in the capital city of Augusta is the perfect place for families to spend a few hours, especially when the weather isn’t particularly conducive to outdoor activities.

The average deep water phosphorus value was not significantly above surface water phosphorus values, which suggests phosphorus recycling is not problematic. The chlorophyll-a average of 2.6 ppb falls into the moderate range. Long-term trend analysis indicates chlorophyll–a concentrations in Bear Pond are stable, total phosphorus concentrations are decreasing, and clarity readings are stable.

The Turner Historical Museum was established to promote and preserve the area’s history and is located inside the Leavitt Building near the town’s center. The Nezinscot River played an important role in Turner’s development, mainly because its water powered many of the town’s mills that turned raw materials into finished products like lumber and flour. Ponds that weren’t specifically designed for wildlife can easily be adapted to welcome a wider range of creatures. Autumn is the least damaging time for making changes, after the height of the breeding season but before amphibians go into hibernation. Previous players have noted that the course is challenging, but the treed areas, sand and water hazards make things interesting without overdoing it.Liner – butyl liners are the easiest way to create a natural-shaped pond. Pre-formed plastic or fibreglass ponds don’t usually have a shallow slope (see above), so you would need to add a ramp. For larger, natural ponds consider liners of puddled clay or sodium bentonite. Frogs, toads and newts will use even small bodies of water to breed – see our guide to garden amphibians

One of the delights of my day is perusing the list of recently sold interested items every morning. Not only is it interesting, but it helps me to spot trends in the rare book world – for example, I saw two copies of the same title sold yesterday. I didn’t recognize the title of the book or the author’s name, so I did some digging. After long months of forced solitude and inactivity, many of New England’s towns come to life in the early spring, and some have outdoor concert venues that really draw the crowds. Topping up the water level– don’t be too hasty to top up your pond during dry weather. Seasonal ponds are a natural feature in the UK, filling up in winter and occasionally drying out in summer. This can favour certain animals, such as newts, which can survive in the mud, unlike the fish that predate on their larvae. If additional water needs to be added, use rainwater–tap water should only be a last resort.

Sloping sides– at least one side of the pond should have a long, shallow slope. This allows easy access for wildlife and, when water levels fluctuate, creates a damp habitat for smaller creatures. If you’re making a container pond that isn’t sunk into the ground, add a ramp on the outside and the inside. Founded in 2005, Hurricane’s Café and Deli on Route 202 in Greene is the perfect place for weary travelers to take a load off and have a great meal without spending an arm and a leg. It provides excellent habitat for coldwater and warmwater fish and is a popular fishing spot yearround. It is said to be named after a bear that was killed in its waters during the early settlement of Waterford. Located on Matthew’s Way in Turner, the town’s gazebo features live entertainment nearly every week during the late spring and summer. Make a drinking spot for big and small– alayer of gravel, mud or large flat stones positioned on the shallow sloping side of the pond will create a perfect habitat for amphibians and insects. It also allows birds, hedgehogs and smaller insects such as honeybees and hornets to drink without risk of falling in the water.
