Description

Carved by receding glaciers, Black Pond is named for a small, vernal pond. Its dark brown water is colored by tannins and humic acids from decomposing leaf litter. Since there are no incoming springs or streams, the water in the pond is collected entirely from rainfall that drains into the basin. Join NAP and the Ann Arbor District Library for a crisp winter walk to learn about the nature area's three distinctive habitat types. And leave a little time in your schedule to visit the raptors at the adjacent Leslie Science and Nature Center!

Meet at the Leslie Science & Nature Center parking lot (1831 Traver Road) (map: https://tinyurl.com/BlackPondLSNC). Make sure to dress for the weather (walks happen rain or shine) and bring a water bottle. 

Nature walks are a collaboration between the Ann Arbor District Library and Natural Area Preservation and take place once a month. Some of AADL's Science Tools will be available for use during the walk!
