We will teach about native and invasive aquatic plants and fish, highlighting which species should be established and which will need management. We will also introduce macroinvertebrates and wildlife that help indicate a healthy ecosystem. We will cover the pond bank zones and the plants that will thrive in each and will also show you how you to propagate wax myrtle from cuttings. The class will provide UF/IFAS pond‑management guidance, invasive‑plant control strategies, and Extension resources. We will also go over potential dangers of a pond including alligators and harmful algal blooms.
