OUR CREEK
What lives in our creek? The creek that flows down Jocelyn Hollow is spring fed, emerging clean from the hillside in a wide cascade over shale providing a cool, moist, shady habitat for many plants and animals. Some animals spend their whole lives in the water, some just live there when they're young, some venture to the cool water in the peak of summer to escape the heat. Below are just a few animals found enjoying the creek. They include a two lined salamander, a young bullfrog hiding underwater, an adult dusky salamander, a larval dusky salamander, a larval red salamander, an adult red salamander, a juvenile box turtle, a watersnake, and caddisfly larvae that spin intricate silk nets in which they live.
