Just Add Water is a national campaign to encourage the public to dig wildlife ponds in urban areas.

Not sure if you have space for a wildlife pond? Think again. Any pond size is good for some form of wildlife: from a buried water-filled bucket, to a textbook wildlife pond (complete with pond-dipping platform and bird-hide). The point is, wildlife ponds can be for everyone, whether you have a backyard, allotment or garden. 

Don’t be put off by price either. Creating a pond can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be. You can spend £5 or £500. Similarly you can spend two hours, two days or two weeks. 

The information in this section will help you plan, plant and enjoy your very own wildlife pond.

Whatever you do, Just Add Water.
