Seagirt Ponds
Seagirt Ponds encompasses a diverse range of ecosystems and habitats, presenting residents and visitors with a magical landscape rich with terrestrial and aquatic life. The park encompasses an abandoned farming landscape, with two constructed dewponds, which after more than one hundred years of forest regeneration, now features a canopy of old second growth Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and Broadleaf Maple. Understory communities of Salal, Salmonberry, Western Sword Fern and bluff communities of moss and wild flowers provide a rich habitat for a variety of amphibians and mammals, and a unique and engaging experience for park visitors. It is the re-vegetation by native species of a previously clear cut area that makes the Seagirt Ponds such a unique and special place.
