In the past two weeks we managed to remove a significant amount of mud, wood and fallen trees around the pond inlet. As a result there are couple mud piles that will be used to further improve the pond area once the mud dries enough.As of now some of it was used to fill in holes around the inlet and the remainder is waiting for its chance.
There is a slight inlet adjustment, it is now shorter and thanks to bypassing the swampy area it reaches the pond faster and is cleaner.
During the pond cleanup we found number of bottles, concrete, plastic and other trash that does not belong inside the pond or around. Recyclables have been sorted, returnable bottles have been returned and we will continue the cleanup as weather and time permits.
