Water Features for Wildlife

All wildlife need different types of access to water not only to drink but also bathe and in some cases to reproduce. A dish with rocks can provide a safe landing for pollinators to a pond which can support all sorts of wildlife including fish and amphibians. Additionally, the sound of running water can attract all sorts of wildlife to your new community of biodiversity.
