There are wood duck boxes on metal pipes, plus some smaller bird house, 10 inches tall and narrow, also over the water. Recreational opportunities: Wildlife viewing and photography may be the most important recreational uses for people walking the road past this pond. There may be fishing practiced here as well.

A culvert under the road connects the west end of this pond with a wet area of Stand 7. Important natural features: The Holland Ponds, while not natural features, are becoming naturalized by the healing properties of the plants that grow there and the animals that use them. MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR 'ST<strong>AND</strong> 10. MUSKRAT POND' Landowner's objectives for this stand: Protect the water regime of the pond by not causing water to be added or taken away by human modifications to adjacent land areas.
