Plantlife has also produced an attractive poster about pond plants - ‘A year in the life of a pond’ - which you can see by clicking here. For a copy of the poster, please contact the Plantlife Scotland office on 01786 478509. Schools can also contact Plantlife Scotland for a pond plant education pack, with activities and information to tie in with the Scottish curriculum for 8-11 year olds.

Below are six leaflets produced by Plantlife for the Pond Alert! campaign, providing information and advice for managing your own ponds, avoiding problem plants, buying plants and creating bog garden attractive to wildlife. Click on each to download a copy.
