Discover the diverse species that thrive in our urban lakes
It All Begins With The Wildlife
Our amazing volunteer staff here at SoUL has provided an incredible new habitat for birds, native plants, otters and more. Because of their hard work, we're seeing more come to life. While a great job has been done, the work isn't over.

How You Can Help Wildlife Thrive
Respect
Keep a respectful distance from wildlife and their nesting areas. Observe from afar and avoid disturbing their natural behaviors.
Protect
Properly dispose of trash and participate in lake cleanup events. Even small actions can have a big impact on wildlife health.
Nurture
Support local ecosystems by planting native species in your yard. These plants provide food and shelter for local wildlife.
