A diversified forum sounds good to me.
After all��.the management of forestlands, cropland, pastureland, rangelands, etc. adjacent to watershed drainages directly affects or impacts our �beloved ponds�. The water quality, water quantity and general biology of the pond system is a direct result of surrounding watershed health.
So yes; I wouldn�t mind seeing more discussion on wildlife, forestry, hydrology, pasture management, crop management, food plots, etc.
We have actually used cattle in our Ranch riparian system, to assist with the fertilization of the ponds water column. We have noticed a direct improvement in phytoplankton and the resulting food chain. Correct fencing and timed grazing have helped us achieve this goal. I don�t believe I would have tried this without PB forum experts and ideas.
Very exciting stuff, especially if you are interested in a �holistic� approach to watershed management��. at any scale.
Thanks PB!
