Summary

Machine-generated summary

The works involve creating 24 ponds totalling approximately 22,000 m2 across the Caerlaverock estate. Seven ponds are designed specifically for Natterjack Toads, reintroducing historic breeding habitat, while 17 are general habitat and water restoration ponds. These general ponds reinstate habitat, provide natural flood and surface water management, diffuse pollution control and sediment capture from adjacent hillside fields as a buffer zone. Ponds are grouped into networks by holding, layered with other wildlife restoration efforts to maximise ecological benefit and support whole ecosystems. Seasonally they support migratory wildfowl, Natterjack spawn, damselflies and aquatic insects.

Description

We plan to create a mixture of Natterjack Toad ponds (designed to reintroduce historic breeding locations/habitat specifically for this species) (NJT Ponds) and more general habitat and water restoration ponds (HWR Ponds). The HWR ponds are designed to reinstate general habitat, but also to provide natural flood and surface water management, together with diffused pollution control and sediment catchment from adjacent hillside fields - acting as a buffer zone. In winter, the ponds will reach their maximum surface area, providing large waterways for migratory wildfowl. In spring the NJT ponds will reduce in size and leave a small deepening which will heat up quicker to trigger the Natterjack spawn. In summer they will provide habitat for damselflies and aquatic pond insects. We plan to create 24 ponds, totalling approximately 22,000m2 across the estate adding to existing habitat and creating new wetland habitats. 7 will be natterjack toad specific ponds, and 17 general habitat ponds. Rather than thinking of these ponds as individual assets, we have grouped them into pond networks by holding but also layering other wildlife restoration efforts nearby to maximise the ecological benefit for the habitat. The layout of each having been specifically designed to support whole ecosystems.
