Activity
Build a minipond
With just a little effort and a few simple resources you can create a simple watery habitat to enhance even the smallest of outdoor spaces.
This Helping Nature activity can be completed as part of Schools or Families Wild Challenge.
Don't have space or time to create a larger pond? It's easy to create a very small pond out of something like an old washing up bowl, so you can have a minipond in any sized outdoor space. As well as attracting aquatic creatures, you might even see a bird having a bath.
Instructions
How to make a micro wildlife pond
Step one: Find or buy a large container
It will need to be watertight, like a half-barrel, an old water tank or even a large washing-up bowl. It needs to be able to withstand the rigours of being outside, especially frosts.
