Come
& Visit
Frog Pond Wildlife Preserve and Observation Area
is located on a two acre seasonal wetland in the
hills of Northeast Alabama, just a short drive
from the cities of Jacksonville and Anniston in
White Plains.
Come & Learn
Wetlands are living laboratories of biodiversity.
In fact, wetlands provide habitat for about one
third of all federally listed endangered plant
and animal species. They also provide nesting
spots for more than half of the nation's migratory
birds. But even more importantly, they are essential
to the quality of human life. Wetlands can reduce
flooding, control erosion, recharge our aquifers
and improve water quality. Wetlands are valuable,
but they're vanishing. The Frog Pond is a little
wetland, but it is important too!
Come & Enjoy
Few places in Calhoun County provide a more beautiful
setting than the Frog Pond. With a little bit
of luck you may experience a chorus of owls, frogs
or song birds as they provide background music
for herons, ducks or maybe even bats, as they
fly gracefully over the wetland. Relax and simply
enjoy the beautiful sounds and scenes provided
by your natural Alabama.
