Abstract
The ponds of Cheshire, formerly commonplace, are vanishing from the landscape. Representing once dominant farming practices, they now have high ecological value and form a visual and social amenity. Proposals to develop community-based schemes for sustaining the remaining pond resource are an attempt to integrate the diverse meanings and uses of this landscape feature and to sustain the resource. Funded in part by the European Union, the Pond Life Project will address the conservation of ponds in the context of a working agricultural landscape.
