Among the natural communities of plants and animals existing in the high plains ecosystem, none is as lush or rich in animal life as the riparian community. Riparian zones are the lush belts of vegetation found along rivers and wetlands. The Niobrara flows through the four mile length of Agate, meandering and curving to create 11 miles of river bank. These river banks play a vital role in the plant and animal communities as well as the water quality of the river.
