Plant trees to reduce the heating of water to the maximum. Some shade is nice, but you also have to watch how many leaves it drops into the pond, which will add to the nutrient load over time and shorten the life of the pond. Nutrient build up and muck accumulation.

Make sections where snow accumulates rather than being sweep by the winds.

Are there other things we can do.
