Vegetative Pond Buffer
A vegetative pond buffer is the strip of plants that surround a body of water, in this case, the pond. The plants provide many benefits to wildlife and the water, as well as to people who visit. Instead of unsightly fencing, the buffer can act as a natural barrier between the pond and people. The pond was installed and designed with these benefits in mind in 2009, with additional restoration work completed a decade later. Pets and trash should be kept out of the pond to make sure it continues to function properly.
