The pond restoration is being carried out by the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB with European funding from the Countryside Council for Wales and the Trunk Road Agency's Biodiversity Fund.
In recognition of its special qualities the North Pennines has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), as well as a European and Global Geopark - highlighting its globally important Earth heritage.
"Due to funding cuts, resources are now very tight and so it is more important than ever to ensure that attention is concentrated on the right areas of work, " said Anthony Trollope-Bellew, chairman of the Quantock Hills AONB partnership.
Over the past four years, the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Partnership has blocked moorland drains with peat dams to try to restore important blanket bog habitats in the North Pennines, and prevent the erosion of the peat.
