| HOME |
Ardler's' Environment includes many interesting features such as ponds,
woodlands, pocket parks and open spaces. There are many opportunities for residents to play an active role in
Ardler's Environment.
(See the Links below) The two ponds are designed to hold water and their reeds help to trap silt and filter out pollution making the water cleaner. These ponds are also important features in Ardler’s community. The west pond already attracts many residents to feed the ducks and swans. |

Swans at West Pond - 2004 The swales and ponds in Ardler are part of an exciting water management system known as a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (or SUDS!) They are designed not only to manage surface water but also provide a habitat for wildlife and features within the community. |

The East Pond
This pond forms the main entrance way to Ardler Village and is wetland area rather than a open water feature. This habitat is ideal for a variety of flowering plants and marginals which attract a wide diversity of insects and butterflies. Its function within the sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) is not fully realised until the regeneration of the area is completed at the beginning of 2007. It will then have greater peak flows and a more variable depth than at present leading to a wider range of habitats.
