Pond
A
spur trail circles the pond, which is fed by springs and a seasonal
stream from the mountain behind it. The shore has been planted
with native species of wetland trees and shrubs. Wetland grasses
and reeds have also colonized the water's edge. Several kinds
of water-loving birds frequent the site, including blue heron,
green heron, Canada goose and duck. The pond has been stocked
with indigenous species of fish. It is also the focus of the Fall
Color Room in the arboretum, reflecting the bright colors from
trees planted on the adjoining slopes.
