 by the pond in a beautiful garden designated a 'Parc Naturel' by the founda
 tion 'Nature et Economie.' It was created by new pond club member Guy Louta
 n\, a naturalist who designed his entire house and garden to be in harmony 
 with nature. We'll see his various biotopes\, water-management system\, roo
 f garden\, solar panels that heat water and generate electricity\, and of c
 ourse his ponds and stream.\n\nThe 15-square-meter pond is two meters deep.
  The adjoining stream is an impressive 30 meters long. The garden is full o
 f flowers and plants that attract many forms of wildlife\, including dragon
 flies\, newts and toads. You can see pictures of all these sights in the 'P
 hotos' section of the pond club's web site at http://ponds.meetup.com/1/pho
 tos/?photoAlbumId=305656. Click on each photo in the 'Guy Loutan's pond' al
 bum to enlarge the picture\, then scroll down the screen to see albums of o
 ther club members' ponds.\n\nThere will be two main topics of discussion at
  this meeting. Guy is the founder of the CONVIVE organization (CONstruct VI
 vant et VErt)\, dedicated to constructing with nature in mind. He'll descri
 be all the ways we can make our ponds and gardens more beneficial for natur
 e's wild creatures. He'll also introduce Jacques Thiebaud\, who's creating 
 a complete database listing and describing all the ponds in the canton of G
 eneva. Be sure to attend this meeting to have your pond included in this sc
 ientific project.\n\nhttp://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/d/0/8/h
