Safety

****While you should have fun exploring the pond, you need to be aware that safety comes first.

Here are some safety tips for you:

1. Never go to the pond without an adult.

2. Never go in the water where you can't see the bottom.

3. Don't go to too near the animals. They are wild and might bite!

4. Make sure you know what types of plants grow at the pond. Some may be poisonous!

5. Be careful near the edge of the pond. The edges may give away!

6. Do not get the water in your mouth!

7. Cover all cuts with waterproof band-aids. They could get infected.

8. Do not trespass to get to a pond.

And here are some tips to make the pond a safe habitat for the creatures:

1. Do not pick the leaves off the plants. Find your leaves to study on the ground.

2. Take a waterproof container to store your finds. But be sure to put all the life back.

3. Do not litter!

Now that you know these tips, you should be safe to explore the pond.
