    I’m with thinker.

    The froggies are going to love it, and we all need to help out
    where they are concerned. That goes for all the animals around
    that need our help, and less intervention of the wrong type!

    This is also so great of the kids. They will remember doing
    this and be proud of themselves for it forever. They will
    also have a much healthier respect for our environment.

    Three cheers.
    I’ve always wondered why the pond at Hurricane Park in Flomaton is so nearly void of vegetation supporting pond life. My guess is that it’s a fear of snakes, as if the town is liable for snake bites. Today bald cypress, tomorrow arrowhead? We need a place for frogs to thrive, to offset their general demise in recent years.

    I can’t wait to see them grow up! Thanks for doing this!

    I know the ducks that live on the pond will like them.
