Re: You have described the natural succession from pond to meadow.
No developers here: this is already a nature reserve. Though just outside its borders, trees are cut and houses are built... And a large part of the pond is still here.

You have described the natural succession from pond to meadow.
Next....Housing Developers!
Beavers keep trying to make a comeback here in our mandatory flood-reducing wetlands after being exterminated 160 years ago. Their work causes suburban flooding, and their relocation so often results in the animals' slow deaths, that they are now shot or trapped and euthanized.
Howver, since coyotes and even one cougar have been seen working the areas, maybe that will no longer be needed...until THEY start eating more dogs.

A wonderful example of what beauty Mother Nature can create when left alone.

A wonderful story in pictures of how life changes--plant life, animal life, human life. Nothing stays the same for long.
