Pond habitat survey

Use our pond habitat survey materials to collect environmental data from ponds between June and September.

You don’t need any previous experience to undertake this pond survey. And you can learn all the skills needed from our information sheet and videos. An average sized pond will take around 30 to 40 minutes to survey, but longer if the pond is large.
