BOWDOIN — A morning workshop focused on pond planning, construction and maintenance tips will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 14, at the Bowdoin Central School, 1460 Main St.

After the classroom portion, participants will walk across the street to Stoddard Pond for an interactive walk-and-talk session to discuss management practices.

The program will offer a relaxed and informal opportunity to learn about:

• new pond construction;

• planning for pond use; and

• techniques for testing water quality.

In addition, there will be a question-and-answer session for attendees with the speaking engineer.
