Large Pond Management

Presented by: Dana Rizzo and Susan Boser, Water Quality Educators Penn State Extension, and Tim Wood, Pond Consultant with Aquatic Edge Consulting

Ponds can provide many recreational benefits to homeowners, but they have their share of problems. Some may develop leaks or fill with sediment, or the water may be muddy, or choked with weeds and algae. And sometimes, that big fish you hoped would be there for the kids to catch just doesn't materialize. Presenters will offer tips and advice on common pond problems and proper management, with a special focus on identifying and controlling nuisance plants and algae.
