Perseverance Creek Potholes – Voluntary Closure in Effect
Posted on
The Perseverance Creek potholes in the Cumberland Community Forest Park have become a popular destination for visitors drawn to images of the creek during high flows.
However, high recreational use is resulting in trampling of riparian area vegetation and is negatively impacting water quality in the creek and animals in the area.
The area is currently part of the migration corridor for juvenile Western Toads, a species of conservation concern. The area is also home to endangered red legged frogs, wandering salamanders and provides critical flow for downstream juvenile salmonids during dry summer months.
Public cooperation will contribute to the protection of this special place in the Cumberland Community Forest Park.
