    Patrick is an absolute genius. What an amazing pond, not only for people but to make sure the wildlife is not only incorporated, but to have their own areas.

    I have learned more about wetlands and nature from your videos than anywhere else. Have yall ever thought about approaching schools about providing small ponds to their campus? Maybe a small pondless waterfall to elementary schools, small pond to intermediate schools and pond and stream to high schools. I live down the street from a science magnet intermediate school. It would be amazing if the students would be able to build one of your ponds at their school. They would learn about the wetlands and whole ecosystem in a fun, interactive way. Not every kid can afford a pond in their back yard, but it would be nice if they could be exposed to one at school.

    Thank you for the revisit to this beautiful and one-of-a-kind water feature! I enjoyed the videos of the build, but it is so satisfying to see it as it matures and the fun that it is bringing to the population‼️👍👏💖🙋‍♀️🇨🇱

    If community pools were community recreation ponds I would actually go.
    It would be interesting to see cost comparison for a standard pool to same size recreation pond since many if not most community/city projects come down to the bottom line.

    The pond liner lasts 20 years how do you change it would that destroy the eco system and plants. Do the filters systems need to be changed long term, or is it all sand and stone.

    Beautiful! He said there's snakes of course. Well yeah,probably some of the first to arrive. Why I don't swim in lakes . I have a fear of snakes. My problem, I deal with it by swimming in a pool. Heard of snakes being in pools before,but at least you can see them. I've never had a snake in my pool. Only seen a few around the yard in the many years I've lived in my home. This is amazing. It looks so natural an on a huge scale. Thums up to all whom made it possible.

    Amazing. I grew up swimming in Lake Michigan in the Chicago area. It wasn’t very clean then but I loved being in a huge natural body of water. I’ve traveled all over America and always look for a spot to swim. When I lived in California I had a pool but a working eco swim pond would have been way cooler and easier on the eyes and skin. Love these videos and I’m getting ideas for my retirement land and its development.🎉
