MANSFIELD – Ponds can create a sense of serenity, a focal point, and a source of recreation on your property.
They can also be used as a source of drinking water, fire suppression, and watering source for crops and livestock.
Many people think creating and owning a pond is as simple as digging a hole and letting it fill up with water.
There are a lot of factors you must consider before installing a pond which include how to stock and manage your pond.
If you have questions about a new or existing pond, attend the free Pond Clinic on March 16 at 6 p.m. at the Longview Center located at 1495 W Longview Avenue in Mansfield.
The Richland Soil and Water Conservation District (RSWCD) is hosting the Pond Clinic with Steve Fender of Fenders Fish Hatchery. The clinic is a great opportunity to have your questions answered about ponds and pond management.
