The Pond Guidebook
New NRAES Book Focuses on Pond Management
The Pond Guidebook (NRAES-178), contains dozens of tips and insights for managing ponds one-eighth acre to four acres in size. It addresses key topics such as water chemistry, construction, measurement, aquatic weed management, fish selection and stocking, nuisance wildlife, annual maintenance, safety, and more.
The book is based on research, experiences of pond owners, and hundreds of site visits. The authors group was lead by Jim Ochterski, CCE Ontario County, Bryan Swistock from Penn State, and Cliff Kraft and Rebecca Schneider, of Cornell’s Department of Natural Resources.
