Why study ponds?
The Cornwall Biodiversity Initiative, a large partnership of organisations
and individuals with an interest in conserving and managing the county's
natural resources, has identified ponds as being among the most useful habitats
for study in terms of :
- relevance to the Cornwall Biodiversity Action Plans - in which
wetlands have been prioritised for attention
- accessibility (or potential) within school grounds - allowing
frequent study without the expense of field trips
- variety of related activities relevant to the National Curriculum.
