Other Ponds and Streams

In addition to the described lakes and creeks in the Richland Natural Area, many other small ponds and streams exist. These ponds and streams, while not named, are important in their micro-ecosystem to the aquatic life living there. These ponds and streams also join larger bodies of water such as Big Lake, Crabtree Creek and Richland Creek. Adding fertilizers and sediments to these smaller bodies of water will have a greater adverse impact on the larger bodies of water than may have been imagined due to this waterway network.
