THE POND

Flora - Fauna

History

On a beautiful day in May 98, the pond was dug by a local worker who used to be a pupil in our school. 

When the hole was finished, we successively put:

  • a layer of sand (5 m³), 
  • a trellis (70 m²), 
  • a felt (70 m²), 
  • a 1 mm thick plastic sheet (6,8 mon 12,20 m) . 
By the end of the day, the pond was filled with water thanks to a tanker from the town of Esneux.
In December 98, the sheet was held by quarry stones that were brought by the district of Esneux … for free. The little stone wall that was built became a shelter for amphibians.

In September 1998, we noticed that there was a hole in the sheet (done by vandals)
we therefore decided to build a fence around the aquatic area which would also separate it from the flowered orchard round the pond.
