Pond Management
Restore your pond. Increase value.
Need help with the green algae growing in your pond?
Want the healthiest environment to stock your pond for fish?
Simply want to know more about funding resources available?
Whether your pond is used for recreation, livestock water, habitat for fish and wildlife, it enhances the quality of life, and value of the property on which it is located.
However, did you know your pond should be inspected, and receive regular maintenance, as well? The three major parts of a pond – the dam, the watershed, and the basin – should be regularly inspected for irregularities, wayward vegetation, gopher holes, etc. Identifying and remedying issues early can prevent extensive costly repairs later.
We have partnered with the OSU Creek County Extension agency and the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service to bring you an informative workshop on pond management. You will meet experts with information on:
- Fish Sampling Demonstration
- NRCS Funding and Design
- Pond Plant Life
- Pond Water Quality
You will walk away from this workshop with:
- A working knowledge and checklist to inspect your pond, ensuring its overall longevity.
- Knowledge of tools and resources available to you from your local NRCS office.
In addition to having a healthy structure, a pond must also have a healthy number of aquatic plants. A healthy pond has a moderate amount of aquatic plants that do not interfere with the use and enjoyment of the pond.
This workshop gives you the opportunity to learn proper pond maintenance and balance. You will also receive instruction on available funding opportunities.
