Lots of people, young and old, are enjoying the frog pond at Caldera this spring/summer. Aren’t we lucky to have such a great nature experience so close to home?
The Rossland Society for Environmental Action (RSEA) is asking everyone to enjoy the pond and observe the life cycles, but please do not disturb the natural balance. Leave your nets at home, keep your pets on leash and teach your children to look but don’t touch! The frogs, dragonflies, beetles, snakes, plants, algae and all things that live there thank you for being great nature stewards!
Did you know that the Caldera Pond is home to not only the Columbia Spotted Frog, but also the Western Toad, a species of "Special Concern under the federal Species At Risk Act (SARA)"? The Western Toad travels between the pond and upland forested areas multiple times throughout the year, so if you see a toad out and away from the pond, please leave it be, thanks again!
