The ponds in St. James can be used for fishing, attracting birds and other wildlife, or just enjoying the serenity of having a pond in your backyard. Unlike creeks and streams that flow, ponds are primarily stationary bodies of water. With heavy rain, water becomes a moving force as it takes the path of least resistance by running downhill and carrying loose soil with it. If the banks of your pond are not stabilized, they can become casualties of erosion.
