MANSFIELD — We are seeing, smelling, and hearing signs of spring — daffodils blooming, smell of skunk spray and peepers! We would rather smell the daffodils and hear the peepers, but skunks have their purpose.
Another sign of spring is getting your pond ready for summer.
If part of your spring ritual involves stocking your pond, consider ordering pond fish through the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District (Richland SWCD) pond fish sale now through April 11.
Species for sale are Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Hybrid Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Redear Shellcracker, Yellow Perch, White Amur, and Fathead Minnows. Pond conditioner, fish food, plastic bags, and string may also be ordered through the sale.
This is the only pond fish sale Richland SWCD will sponsor this year, so don’t miss this opportunity to stock your pond. You will pick up your order April 19 at 10 a.m. at the Richland County Fairgrounds.
