ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY TO MAINTAIN HEALTH AND BEAUTY OF HIDDEN LAKE
Raleigh, N.C. – Hidden Lake is situated around a 75-acre, spring-fed lake, which not only provides a beautiful setting for residents, but also a truly unique opportunity for environmental research. With the property’s diverse collection of native plants and abundance of fish, Hidden Lake is one of the only places in the Triangle where such research can be conducted.

Last month, a comprehensive study and evaluation was completed on the lake environment at Hidden Lake. Sarah Anderson of Audubon International worked with Dr. Jim Rice, a professor of zoology and extension fisheries specialist at N.C. State University. Joining the team were Dr. Rob Richardson, an extension aquatic plant specialist from N.C. State, and a team of graduate and undergraduate members of the Student Fisheries Society at the university.

The goal of the two-day study was to assess the general fish population in the lake and identify the plant species that inhabit the lake. The results are still being tabulated, but the findings will help us determine the best course of action for maintaining the overall health of the lake.
