Latta Lake

This camera has captured the conversion of a cedar-choked landscape back to Sandhills prairie. The Switzer Ranch has been combating the spread of the invasive eastern redcedar through prescribed fire and mechanical removal. Latta Lake was created long ago by a sand dam upstream and has unique hydrology. Its inlet also serves as its outlet, filling up during periods of high water and going completely dry during extended drought.
