About this site
This Chronolog station provides long-term monitoring of the changing water levels and vegetation surrounding the freshwater pond.
The freshwater ponds located throughout the grasslands provide a vital source of drinking water for wildlife such as coyote and deer. These ponds would have also been a water source for cattle during the island's ranching history.
