Priority ponds are waterbodies that have a particularly high conservation value: usually because they support important freshwater species or rare community types. These ponds can be permanent or seasonal waterbodies and can span a wide size range: from one metre squared to two hectares.
Volunteers can now get involved by conducting a Priority Pond Assessment Survey (PASS) to identify a potential priority pond.
For more information check out the FHT Priority Ponds Scheme pages.
