Nature and Wildlife:
Crickets chirping, frogs jumping from rock to rock, dragonflies dancing above the water, and fish in a bright symphony of colors popping up their heads to greet you and see if you have a treat for them. An ecosystem is plants and animals living in a community and interacting with one another and sharing available resources. An ecosystem encompasses all aspects and elements of this environment including the living or biotic such as the air and the water and the sun’s energy. Pond are ecosystems, in that they play host to a total interrelationship of all organisms in the environment such as: birds, fish, frogs, plants, and many microscopic organisms. Thus, ponds not only create a natural ecosystem in their defined environment, but they also fit into the community or life cycle of into just one homeowner’s back yard, but of the entire ecological region.

Other inhabitants will naturally be drawn to take up residence. Dragonflies and frogs will become terrific additions to your feature. They will be drawn to a watery dip or the beautiful plant life that are part of your waterscape.

Not to worry about unwanted pests such as mosquitoes - they will tend to be fewer as your fish and the dragonflies will consider them (and their eggs) tasty treats!
