Spring Garden Vernal Pond

The Spring Garden Vernal Pond Chronolog helps track seasonal changes in this rare and ecologically important wetland within the Ojibway Prairie Complex. Vernal ponds are temporary wetlands that fill with water in the spring and dry out by late summer, providing critical habitat for amphibians, insects, and plant species that depend on these seasonal cycles. By taking and uploading a photo, you contribute to a growing time-lapse that helps scientists and conservationists monitor water levels, vegetation changes, and wildlife activity over time. Thank you for helping protect and document this unique ecosystem!
