In late 1991, we began work on a big project, creating the Amphibian Pond. The first step was to build a dam at the end of the mowed site and before the Ravine (on the right). However... the initial plan for this site was to create a Sedge Meadow, NOT a pond! I guess the fates had a different idea because the site soon filled with water once the dam was constructed, and a pond it has been ever since. And we are very glad it is.
