Greene Acres gardeners dug our pond during the summer of 2004, with the help of the New York Restoration Project. The dry stream bed leading to the pond funnels excess runoff from the rainwater collection tank into the pond.

We working to create a self-contained ecosystem where all parts of the pond (fish, plants, snails, frogs, algae) have everything they need to survive. At this beginning stage it's all pretty delicate. If anyone sees someone feeding the fish or putting things into the pond, please ask them to stop. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to help, so get in touch with Masha, our "pond scientist" to find out more about what is going on with the pond.
