Department Urges Pond Construction for Farm Benefits
The Division of Fish and Wildlife and Lands and Forests urge farmers and landowners to build ponds on their property. Ponds may be excavated from drainage, springs, or streams and serve as water for stock, fire protection, and soil and water conservation. They provide swimming and fishing for youth in summer and skating in winter and are about one half to one acre in size. Dam projects require approval from the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests to avoid harming fish and downstream landowners.
