Kudos to all of you who keep your ponds healthy, and invite the critters of mother nature to find a welcome home in your yard. For those who realize those dragon flies are monster mosquito killers and smile as a new bird drops in for a sip of water, thank you. In this short article by Lucy Towers, she shares the difference our ponds make to the biodiversity of our neighborhoods.  
 
"All over the world, wildlife and plant life continue to struggle due to human impact. Plants and animals that used to be commonplace are now struggling to survive in this new ecosystem and biodiversity as we know it could soon become a thing of the past. It is our job as responsible citizens to preserve wildlife wherever possible, and you should make your garden the focus for protecting your local ecosystem."
