Please click on image to ENLARGE photo of sign marking the Leopard Frog Habitat, a small pond left when the fuel tank supporting Aspen Ridge development machinery was moved, many months after work ended on the failed condo project. Nature has worked hard to revegetate the site, despite the fact that the highly absorbent, extremely fertile black soil was all removed from the 30-acre site. Tree frogs of two species also have tadpoles metamorphosing in that pond and there may be others we haven't identified. The frog choir is a joy in the night! This land is a part of the proposed addition to the World Peace Wetland Prairie. Although it must be graded down, this might be a good spot to create a rain garden, something the neighbors, people driving by, and the students living in the Hill Place student apartments could all appreciate, while doing its bit to cleanse stormwater runoff from the apartment complex.

Is that cool, or what?
I took a whole bunch of people to look at the cool pond and sign but the sign is gone. Where's the sign? How are we supposed to find the frog habitat?
I'm game. How do you create a rain garden? You design it, get the city to approve it, and I'll build it.
