Collie Ennis gives an explanatory talk about the pond as it is filling with water.
A new wildlife diversity pond has been created in the Provost’s Garden. It is visible to the public via the Nassau Street entrance to campus.
The pond was installed by Estates and Facilities, under the expert guidance of Collie Ennis. Surrounded by repurposed moss and logs from the beloved Trinity Oregon Maple, the pond will be self-regulating, with plants acting as a filtration system.
Once the water has time to settle over the winter months, it will be a welcome home to frogs and other wildlife. Watch this space.
Pictured below: Collie shows staff and students the moss that will control the oxygen levels in the pond, making it completely self-regulating.
