The area of the Yahara Bay and River is habitat for a variety of migratory birds, as well as other local wildlife including fish, turtles, reptiles and songbirds.

In addition, many different types of plants live along the river bed and on the sides of the river. Plants such as cattails, water lillies and a variety of trees are plentiful and make a great habitat for wildlife.

Area residents are concerned that the removal of the 4th Street Dam will lower the river levels and have a negative affect on the wildlife.
