Lake Construction & Restoration

Freshwater resources are the lifeblood of terrestrial ecosystems, but the UK has lost 90% of its wetlands and our lakes are threatened by pollution, invasive species and climate change. Recreating and maintaining lakes and ponds is essential to restoring biodiversity and Tomorrow’s Forests has the experience and expertise to assist with lake construction and restoration projects.

Lake Planning and Design:

The success of a lake project is dependent on thorough surveying and a detailed understanding of site conditions. We have the experience in planning and designing lakes that will ensure your project is a success, providing expert advice on design and implementation. The design phase requires in-depth ecological and structural knowledge, understanding that how you shape the lake will determine what role it can play within the ecosystem. Our lake construction experience informs our advisory capabilities and ensures that we create lakes and ponds that are thriving habitats for whichever purpose you envisage.

Lake Implementation:

Our implementation experience spans all sizes of project, from digging small wildlife ponds to large scale fisheries lakes. We understand how to sculpt a lake to create different micro-habitats and how to assure inflow and outflow of water systems with features such as monk drains and silt traps. We are also able to provide services to enhance and accelerate your lake creation, with aquatic plants and ecosystem foundational invertebrate seeding. Our services extend beyond implementation to monitoring of biodiversity and water quality, assessing against baseline measurements to track progress longitudinally.
