Caretaker's note: The format of the watersto_jennystone activities reports has changed over the years. The earlier reports often consisted of observations from the entire year without reference to when they occured. These reports are logged in the Journal around the time they were submitted. Over time, activities were documented more precisely with regard to season, or month and often to the exact day. The process of logging activities, fosters a deep connection to and respect for nature that inspires greater understanding of this unique ecosystem.

The goal of Wildlife Management is maximum diversity. These lists document the base line of species found at watersto_jennystone during 1996. The plant and animal species list should continue to grow over time as a result of Wildlife Management implemented at watersto_jennystone.
