Greenwich Park Ponds

Greenwich Park is a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation. The ornamental lake has a low baseline for biodiversity: lack of aquatic vegetation; over feeding of wildfowl led to a paucity of zooplankton (and other wildlife) excess of nutrients which intensified damaging algae blooms.
This project will:
1. Create 520m² healthy marginal, emergent and aquatic vegetation zones in the Pond. To improve zooplankton, invertebrate and amphibian populations.
2. Manage duck feeding in a beneficial manner in association with information panels and park staff outreach/awareness work.
3. Install and plant an new wildlife pond in adjacent deer park (fenced off from deer). This will enhance standing water habitat connectivity between the FGPond and the new pond created in the education area last year.
