Ponds for Nature Conservation is a special membership webinar with great guest speaker and pond expert Aoife O'Rourke from True Nature Ecology. Freshwaters occupy less than 1% of the earth, yet they support 10% of all known species. We need to do everything we can to protect them!

Here are some excellent and comprehensive pond resources information provided by Aoife over the course of the webinar.
