Introduction 
Wetlands are an important part of the natural landscape; they provide an important habitat for many sources of wildlife, birds and insects, and perform the function of cleaning the water which we use. All waterbodies undergo a natural process of succession which means they require managing if they are to continue to provide this important resource. Whether you have an existing pond or wetland area, or are looking to create a new one, it is important it is managed appropriately in order that it will function correctly. 
 

Overview in brief 
Waterbodies are important resources acting as a source for irrigation, recreation and as landscape features. Aquatic systems are dynamic and can quickly be overtaken by vegetation or dominated by algae. Maintaining them requires an understanding of some basic ecological principles, such as indicator species, which this course explores. 
 

The finer details 
This course, delivered by an expert ecologist, has been developed for landowners and those responsible for maintaining existing ponds or wetlands, or who wish to create a new system on their site.
