My pond is human made but not lined. It is full of what looks like sphagmum moss. It is presently full of hundreds of wood frogs. Peepers will arrive any day. I wonder if there is too much of this moss in the pond. It is full and by next year it will be a lawn in water. Will I hurt the environment for these frogs and the salamanders, if I remove some of the moss? I will have green frogs in another month. This pond is certified as a vernal pool here in Mass. I am also an organic gardener, so don't want to poison anything. please advise. I have enclosed a photo of "my" wood frogs
