Just a few notes - I have a lot of catching up to do from being out of town for a few days.
Look in the local paper or the yellow pages for a timber buyer. Have him come out and give you an estimate.
Ask to see the ponds that the neighbor dug, and talk to the owners. Ask them if they are happy with their ponds, and if they would do do anything different. Find out how old their ponds are, and ask them what their goals were for having a pond dug.
