Scenic View/Photo Spot

Mori's freshwater frog ponds are home to our threatened amphibious friends, the California red-legged frog. The ponds are ideal habitat for these cute lil' leapers, and a scenic location for humans to enjoy as well. The ponds are the result of extensive restoration work here in the 32-acre wetlands, made possible by the community's stalwart resistance to a slew of development proposals over two decades.

The red-legged frogs are threatened by habitat loss and predation from invasive species such as bullfrogs. Habitat like the ponds give their numbers a chance to recover.
