The wetlands in the northeast corner of the Park. Were it not for the establishment
of the Cole Nature Park, there would now be four houses standing in this area.
These were taken in June 2002.

The ponds which are the source of Brookside Creek.
The first two photos look to the south over the south pond;
the third photo is the north pond.

The "Sand Pit", an example of extensive erosion in progress.
This area visibly and significantly changes from year to year.

An example of erosion just downhill from the Sand Pit.
These roots were unexposed before the flood of '96-97.

Looking down toward the ponds from just below the Sand Pit.

The start of Brookside Creek. Upstream are only two spring-fed ponds.
Less than a half mile downstream, the Creek cuts through a canyon dozens of feet wide.

Looking south from the old Petrie Road.

The northeast wetlands in autumn.
