In a lake environment, people live side by side with a variety of critters. They can be pests or they can be our friends. A critter that might seem friendly and interesting to one person, can be another person's nightmare. Bears, spiders, snakes, biting flies, caterpillars, beavers, geese droppings and even invasive plants are all part of the natural ecosystem at Sylvia Lake. We ALL live here...like it or not. These Internet resources will be a start to a better understanding of how we can live side by side with some less-than-desirable critters.
