Conservation
A small portion of rare old growth cottonwood riparian habitat adjacent to Trout Creek is protected. The cottonwoods and associated wetland thickets provide food and shelter for a variety of birds, insects and small mammals. Birds seen in the area include the northern oriole, warbling vireos and the Lewis's woodpecker.[3]
