Those areas are so important. There were a number of those types of areas around our Lake Tahoe, but they had been “drained”. In the last decade they have restored many of them because they help “clean” the water that flows into the lake and they help reduce erosion. It’s fascinating to walk around parts of the lake and read about this work.
