Having our community located right on the shores of Hendrix Pond is one of the special things about living in Timberlane II. However, we need to do our part to preserve this wonderful, yet vulnerable, natural resource. There have been a number of reports recently of trash left along the shores of the pond and, although we do not believe this was caused by any Timberlane II residents or kids, if you happen to be walking around the pond and see some trash, please help by picking it up and placing it in one of the many trash cans located around the pond. This trash both pollutes the pond water and is a safety hazard to the wildlife who live in and around the pond (not to mention the eyesore it causes).
And, you may have seen the recently installed "don't feed bread to ducks" sign at the pond. It is true that bread can be very harmful to ducks and, while they readily eat it when offered, please only feed ducks with cracked corn "scratch" or similar foods. You can buy this food at pet stores or, less expensively, at feed stores like Elston Hay and Grain in Poway or Escondido Feed and Pet Supply in Escondido.
Finally, if you enjoy fishing in Hendrix Pond for the large catfish or nice perch there, please don't leave fishing tackle laying along the shore. We've seen several large hooks left on the shoreline that are a hazard to both wildlife and our children.
