There is a lot a person can learn from a wetland. They are living laboratories of biodiversity. In fact, wetlands provide habitat for about one third of all federally listed endangered plant and animal species. They also provide nesting spots for more than half of the Nation s migratory birds. But even more importantly, they are essential to the quality of human life.
Wetlands can reduce flooding, control erosion, recharge our aquifers and improve water quality.
Wetlands are valuable. And they re vanishing. Few places in Calhoun County provide a more beautiful setting than the Frog Pond . With a little bit of luck you may experience a chorus of frogs, owls or song birds as they provide background music to the herons, ducks and bats, as they gracefully fly over the water. Come to the Frog Pond Wildlife Preserve and Observation Area to get away.
