Dig a pond
- A recent study suggests that in the sediment accumulated at the bottom of ponds, there’s potential to hold more carbon per square metre per year, than equivalent areas of grassland and woodland, making this a great way to offset other emissions.
- As well as capturing carbon, ponds are home to a rich variety of animals, plants and insects.
- A pond of any size will benefit wildlife – see here for how to make a pond in a pot.
