In gathering the natural sounds on Peaceful Pond, Dean Evenson spent a summer traversing the continent from the high Rocky Mountains to the eastern coastal wetlands in search of the perfect pond environment. The term “wetlands” encompasses a variety of wet environments, both coastal and inland. Throughout much of our history, such wetlands were regarded as foreboding, dangerous places which had little value. More recently, however, we have come to realize that wetlands are natural wonderlands. They are among the most productive natural ecosystems of the world. Wetlands are precious ecological resources — resources that nurture wildlife, purify polluted waters and check the destructive power of floods and storms. We have recently witnessed increased flood damages and declining waterfowl populations which are, in part, the results of wetland destruction. 

As wetlands are lost, the remaining wetlands become even more valuable, representing a vital link between our land and water resources. Peaceful Pond is lovingly dedicated to preservation and enjoyment of our natural wetlands.
