Welcome

Welcome to the Internet home of the Friends of Gervais Creek and Pond!  If you are wondering what FOGCAP is and just who are the Friends of Gervais Creek and Pond, you should read our Frequently Asked Questions page first (click on About Us at left).

Please browse through the other menu items at left for more information about the ponds and the surrounding area.  There is a little bit about the history of the ponds, information about wildlife at the ponds (plants and animals), and there is a place for your feedback.

There are also links to the websites of the City of Little Canada and the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District.
