Stub placement
Hello. If you don't mind the suggestion, please read Stub, since you appear to not have completely grasped the stub concept yet. That's completely acceptable, but please read the first half of that article. Cheers. --Sn0wflake 23:40, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Re:Apartheid wall

Handling Copyright Violations
When you noticed a page that is a copyright violation (like Brianellner), please use the correct procedure instead of just blanking the page. Thanks! .:.Jareth.:. babelfish July 5, 2005 02:49 (UTC)

 * I completed understand that the page was going to be deleted, either as copyvio or as a vfd since it was a duplicate of the correct page, but blanking a page tends to look like vandalism -- that's why we have the templates like .  Just makes things a little easier on people watching for vandals and trolls.   .:.Jareth.:. babelfish July 5, 2005 23:09 (UTC)

 * Ok, thanks for correcting me ! --Revas 6 July 2005 00:35 (UTC)

new hampshire
That may be true that nh is more libertarian, although I believe it is a bit of a facile explanation, and you would need to include a more nuanced and diverse explanation of why new hampshire went dem. Why did they vote for Mccain in 2000? Why did Buchanan win in 1992? Often they also seem rather protectionist. I think many people attribute it to Kerry being from New England (although he is not necessarily very popular and nh receives anti-Kerry Boston talk radio). I think the best explanation is probably that new hampshire is more isolationist than the average state, and generally opposed the iraq war. However, 'this can be explained by' is too definitive language Tfine80 5 July 2005 15:19 (UTC)

 * You're right. I'll keep your edits. But as I read your text, I see an other explanation for Bush's defeat in NH : If McCain won in 2000, Buchanan in 1992 (I presume you speak about the Republican primaries), isn't it because the state Repulican voters have something against the Bush family ? Of course, it is not encyclopedial, but maybe we could write something like : Never a Bush family member did well in this state --Revas 5 July 2005 15:25 (UTC)

 * That's a good point. Although Bush did beat Gore there, of course.  I think people of New Hampshire generally dislike elitists of all stripes.  I even think that there was more natural distrust for Kerry, but I think the war was rather unpopular there, and the mere fact of the Democratic primary gave the Democrat talking points a lot of play.  Btw, I was actually in nh for the 2004 primary, just for kicks.  (I rode up on a bus from my former college in Boston) Tfine80 8 July 2005 02:16 (UTC)

 * just for kicks=? I'm sorry, I'm not a native english-speaker ;-)--Revas 8 July 2005 02:20 (UTC)

Source?
Where is your source for the 40 deaths please. — Trilobite (Talk) 7 July 2005 23:21 (UTC)

 * It was in the article, but somebody erased it.--Revas 7 July 2005 23:26 (UTC)

 * Yes, because it was an unsourced statement. It's no good using the article as a source for itself. The news sources appear to be saying 38 at the moment so until that changes let's not jump the gun. — Trilobite (Talk) 7 July 2005 23:36 (UTC)

 * You're right, I did a research on google and did not find the source (Emergency Services press conference). --Revas 7 July 2005 23:42 (UTC)

You win.
Alright. For unilaterally removing my dispute tags without discussion and thus contributing to a stifling of discussion instead of consensus decision, you have pissed me off royally, '''you motherfucker. And now I'm leaving. Fuck you and fuck your precious Wikipedia, asshole'''. Where consensus consists of shouting down your opponents. — Phil Welch 8 July 2005 02:22 (UTC)

 * I apologize, I should have not lashed out at you, although it was highly inappropriate of you to remove the dispute tag without discussion. — Phil Welch 8 July 2005 02:37 (UTC)

Apology re: our dispute earlier
I didn't react well and I'm sorry. I hope you accept my apology, since I'm coming back. I really, really got too worked up. I still don't think I was treated fairly but I'm going to assume good faith and move on. — Phil Welch 8 July 2005 04:44 (UTC)

 * Well, that's past, I think we can move on and work with other wikipedians on other articles. Don't take talk page discutions to much personaly ;-) --Revas 8 July 2005 11:44 (UTC)

Algerian National Assembly elections, 1991
FIS' manifesto contained no promise to "abolish democracy"; rather, concerns were expressed that this might be part of their plan, because one of their two main leaders opposed democracy while the other expressed support for it. Read Islamic Salvation Front and Algerian Civil War for fuller background. (Or, if I'm wrong, provide a source for your claim.) - Mustafaa 8 July 2005 18:27 (UTC)

Little Germany, New York
Hi, and than you very muchfor translating the article! I wrote that quite some time ago based on lots of online info and a newspaper article. Not sure where i got the 500,000 from, and your comment sounds very valid. Please feel free to change the numbers. Happy editing! -- Chris 73 Talk 12:33, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

peer review
hi, just a comment; peer review is really for very good articles needing final finishing touches; stubs and so on should probably be parked with some clean up tag. All the best. Mozzerati

U.S. presidential election, 2004, in California
Hey, I noticed you're the biggest contributor to that article so I was wondering what you thought of my idea on Talk:U.S. presidential election, 2004, in California? Thanks :) -- Joolz 13:47, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, let's co-ordinate here, I was thinking we should use prettytable as well, I've created an example at User:Joolz/workshop3, what do you think? -- Joolz 18:27, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I've done CA, CT and HI, and I'll start on some more in the morning, regards :) Joolz 21:26, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I've seen it. Thank you. I'm currently working on NY, and created an updated table for CT on User:Joolz/workshop3. Regards --Revas 21:29, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me, you can put it on the CT page, except I'd use &minus; (−) instead of - :-) -- Joolz 00:29, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

U.S. presidential election in D.C.
Hi Revas. I agree that the pages should stay consistent. In fact, I was going to make the same change to the rest of the articles. I think that it makes it easier to see the winner than the (W)—do you agree? —Charles O'Rourke 22:31, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

To be honest, the only reason that justify the '(W) in order to indicate the winner is that the table I copied in order to create those pages was like it. Feel free to edit, but don't forget to do all the pages. And thanks again for your edits on the D.C. page !--Revas 22:38, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Will do. I've also been removing the extra years from the "See other presidential elections" list.  I figure it makes more sense to just show the one before and the one after, and then when you go to those pages, it'll show the one before and after, etc.  I think that especially makes sense since most of those pages don't exist yet. —Charles O'Rourke 22:42, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * I reverted this deletion because I think it's a good idea to create a red link in order to give the idea to someone else (or me, if I become less lazy) to create a stub (it's quite easy, from datas of this site.--Revas 22:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I think it's kind of messy and arbitrary, though. Why not show all elections back to 1789 then?  I think it makes more sense to just show the one before and after, and then when you create the New York 1988 article, it has links to 1984 and 1992, etc.  Just my opinion. —Charles O'Rourke 22:46, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Why not back to 1789 ? For a very arbitrary reason : I have no data from that election ;-) . Maybe you're right, but if I choose a random pge, let say YMD, you have link to all the past World Youth Day's, even those who do not exist yet. I don't know who's right, but I think we should keep to the status quo for now, and see it later. It's not the main issue we face on these pages.--Revas 22:50, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I think red links only confuse readers who are actually using Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, and we should try to move away from them as much as possible. If we do leave the decision to have more than just the year before and year after, why don't we at least only add them as they're created rather than have 5 elections worth of red links? —Charles O'Rourke 22:57, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Because Wikipedia is more than an encyclopedia. It's an encyclopedia the average reader can edit. And I'm afraid nobody will ever think about creating these pages (such as Idaho, 1988, a page nobody will care exept trudents and Boise's policital junkies) if they don't click on a red link. I think you already did that, no--Revas 23:01, 23 August 2005 (UTC) ?

 * But only political junkies like you or me will create these pages even if they are a red link. :P  And actually, I found the pages by going to your user page after I noticed you had edited a page I was interested in.  I didn't have to click on any red links.  (I've just been editing pages you already created.) —Charles O'Rourke 23:05, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok, so let's erase the red links (exept 2008), but I just created the 1996 stub page for NY, and I think we should keep a link toward it in the 2004 page, or nobody will ever discover that it does actually exist.--Revas 23:08, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, but won't they see it if they click on the 2000 link? That one will show links to 1996 and 2004. —Charles O'Rourke 23:11, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Well...let say that 5 people a mounth will see the 2004 page a mounth, then 1 will think about clicking to 2000, and so on we only have 1 people every 5 mounth watching the results of 1996...That's the reason I favor listing the more links I can : people gotta watch these pages : I spent time on it ! ;-) --Revas 23:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Integralism
Hi

The answer is in my talk page. --Truman Burbank 16:47, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

New York City Community Boards
I think it might make sense to merge the fine work you've done on all of these into five consolidated articles, one for each borough. The content on individual community boards doesn't really have potential for expansion, as most local details rather belong in the neighborhood articles. What do you think of this idea?--Pharos 04:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

 * That's definitely a good idea. I agree, but as I'm currently (and for the next 9 mounths) working in in a foreign land, and therefore I'm not able to spend a lot of time on wikipedia, so I'd be glad if somebody else could do it.
 * Moreover, I saw you expanded considerabily the article about NYC mayoral election results. I want you to thank you for this exellent job, and ask where you found those datas. --Revas 18:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi. There's no need to point the redirects to a specific section of the Brooklyn Community Board article, and it's generally considered poor form to use redirects like this.  BTW, the election numbers were from the Encyclopedia of New York City.  I'll have to post the rest later.--Pharos 20:59, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks. BTW, I'm creating a merged Manhattan Community Board article, and d you know if there is a blank map of NYC city state assembly district available ? --Revas 21:01, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:State-legislatures.png
Thanks for uploading Image:State-legislatures.png. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading Image:New York-2004-counties.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags.

Algeria
Please do not move a large number of articles without discussing it first, some of us may have discussed this in the past. Also, this being the english Wikipedia, we tend to prefer the english term, i.e. "province", when possible. I will likely revert these changes later today but I wanted to open a dialogue first. --Golbez 16:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Indeed, i forgot to talk discuss about the change first, sorry. But there is no reason to use the word "province", while Algerians, when speaking in Arabic or French, use the word "wilaya". Moreover, in Maghreb, the English word "province" is not translated by wilaya (to be honest, i forgot the word we translate by "province" in Morocco", but I hope I'll remember it asap). Thus it is a mistake to speak about the province of Algiers whiel referring to the wilaya of Algiers. Indeed, the term 'province of Algiers may also refer to the region that occupied the center of Algeria under the French rule before the creation of the département of Algiers, from wich the current wilaya has been extracted. The English wikipedia, while speaking tof the French départements, who are provinces and similar to Algerian wilayas, use the French term, so why should we do otherwise with Algerian wilayas ? I stop moving the rest of the wilayas article before we can reach a consensus about it, but please do not revert my changes too. Can we discuss of it on the Wilayas of Algeria article ? Thanks. --Revas 01:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I have little problem, specifically, with the changing to "wilaya" - however, please don't move them to "Wilaya of whatever". Use "Algiers wilaya", not "Wilaya of Algiers". It's a style and formality thing, we want to use the less formal form. And yes, this should be continued on the talk page. --Golbez 02:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Paris, etc
Thanks for your Île-de-France talk page addition. I've seen quite a few of your edits through the French Wiki pages, and quite frankly I wasn't certain what side of fact you were on - namely your request to merge "agglomération parisienne" and "aire urbaine" - but I was damn glad to see your post today. Thanks. T HE P ROMENADER 15:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

A word of wisdom?
Revas,

Your knowledgable input will be much appreciated in the request to move vote going on at List of tallest structures in Paris.

I suggested this move because the title of this article is inaccurate; most of what this article contains is not "in Paris" but well outside of it. It is important in Wiki, to maintain verifiability, that articles have the administrative name of the area where their content can be found. One will not find towers in Courbevoie under an "in Paris" title in any reference.

I had proposed List of tallest structures in the Paris region, as "Paris region" encompasses everything contained in the article, and has connotations of "in and around Paris" to the layman; it is also the official translation of Île-de-France. Since opening the above there has been a counter-proposal: in an even more strict adherence to Wiki naming conventions, that it be literally named "in Île-de-France". I'm sure there are other suitable titles such as "Paris agglomeration" (though it is non-administrative) - anyhow your input in this as a 'local' (instead of an ignorant foreigner like me : ) would I'm sure be both welcome and respected.

Regards,

T HE P ROMENADER 08:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi.

Just leaving a note saying I got bored today so decided to do something useful for once. I ordered the Nevada table by Bush's % and created a county results table for New Mexico and ordered it, also by Bush's %. I used Bush's % for them because he won both states. Hope thats okay.

Focal dystonia

Focal dystonia, also called focal task-specific dystonia, is a neurological condition that affects a muscle or group of muscles in a specific part of the body during specific activities, causing involuntary muscular contractions and abnormal postures. There are many different types of focal dystonia, each affecting a different region of the body. For example, in focal hand dystonia, or writer's cramp, the fingers either curl into the palm or extend outward without control. In musicians, the condition is called musician's focal dystonia, or simply, musician's dystonia. In sports, it may be involved in what is commonly referred to as the yips. The condition appears to be associated with over-training, and individualized treatment strategies may involve medications, retraining techniques, and procedures.

Signs and symptoms
People with dystonia experience tightness, cramping, fatigue, involuntary sustained or repetitive muscle contractions that can be painless or painful and resulting in abnormal posturing, twisting motions, and even tremors. Focal dystonia typically presents in adults, more commonly in women ranging from ages 30 through 40. Major types of focal dystonia affect the limbs, face, mouth, neck, and larynx. These focal dystonias can be exclusive to specific tasks, like writing or playing an instrument. Focal dystonia will typically have a subtle and slow onset before slowly worsening over years. During the beginning stages, symptoms can be intermittent and without clear associations and provocation. The progression of this disease can vary from person to person. During the first couple years of onset, symptoms can partially or completely disappear for days to months, but return in other parts of the body.

Causes
Current medical science does not precisely describe the causes of dystonia, however genetic and environmental factors may play a large role. Misfiring of neurons in the sensorimotor cortex, a thin layer of neural tissue that covers the brain, is thought to cause contractions. This misfiring may result from impaired inhibitory mechanisms during muscle contraction. When the brain tells a given muscle to contract, it simultaneously silences muscles that would oppose the intended movement. It appears that dystonia interferes with the brain's ability to inhibit those surrounding muscles, leading to loss of selectivity.

The sensorimotor cortex is organized as discrete "maps" of the human body. Under normal conditions, each body part (such as individual fingers) occupies a distinct area on these cortical maps. In dystonia, these maps lose their distinct borders and overlap occurs. Exploration of this initially involved over-training particular finger movements in non-human primates, which resulted in the development of focal hand dystonia. Examination of the primary somatosensory cortex in the trained animals showed grossly distorted representations of the maps pertaining to the fingers when compared to the untrained animals. Additionally, these maps in the dystonic animals had lost the distinct borders that were noted in the untrained animals.

Imaging studies in humans with focal dystonia have confirmed this finding. Also, synchronous afferent stimulation of peripheral muscles induces organizational changes in motor representations, characterized both by an increase in map size of stimulated muscles and a reduction in map separation, as assessed using transcranial magnetic stimulation.

The cross-connectivity between areas that are normally segregated in the sensory cortex may prevent normal sensorimotor feedback and so contribute to the observed co-contraction of antagonist muscle groups, and inappropriately timed and sequenced movements that underlie the symptoms of focal dystonia. It is hypothesized that a deficit in inhibition caused by a genetically mediated loss of inhibitory interneurons may be the underlying cause of the deficits observed in dystonia.

While usually painless, in some instances the sustained contraction and abnormal posturing in dystonia cause pain. Focal dystonia most typically affects people who rely on fine motor skills—musicians, writers, surgeons, etc. It is thought that the excessive motor training those skills require may contribute to the development of dystonia as their cortical maps become enlarged and begin to overlap. Focal dystonia is generally "task-specific," meaning that it is only problematic during certain activities.

Diagnosis
The diagnosis of focal dystonia is highly dependent on the history of the patient, as physical exam is typically normal, and ruling out other causes of movement disorder. The main types of are blepharospasm, oromandibular dystonia, spasmodic dysphonia, spasmodic torticollis, and limb dystonia, all affecting a different region of the body. Labs and imaging may be ordered as workup to evaluate for other causes of dystonia. Focal dystonias involving ? are commonly misdiagnosed. A provider can rule in or out dopamine-responsive dystonia with a levodopa trial.

Treatment
Treatment options would be based on the type of focal dystonia the patient has. If possible, incorporating rest earlier to symptom onset has shown to have greater improvement in symptoms for writer's cramp.

Physical therapy
Physical therapy is commonly used as an adjunct or main form of treatment for focal dystonia, however more studies for its benefit are needed. Bass guitarist and instructor Scott Devine said that he wears a glove while playing bass guitar because of the condition. He finds that the glove stops the involuntary finger movements. He says it works for him but does not suggest that it may work for everyone with the condition.

Medications
Anticholinergics such as Artane can be prescribed for off-label use, as some patients have had success. Benzodiazepines, such as Clonazepam, can be used as a muscle relaxant. Other oral medications have been studied for different types of focal dystonia, such as baclofen, tetrabenazine, amantadine, antipsychotics, and amphetamine

Procedures
This condition is often treated with injections of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A). BoNT/A reduces the symptoms of the disorder but it is not a cure for dystonia. Since the root of the problem is neurological, doctors have explored sensorimotor retraining activities to enable the brain to "rewire" itself and eliminate dystonic movements. The work of several doctors such as Nancy Byl and Joaquin Farias has shown that sensorimotor retraining activities and proprioceptive stimulation can induce neuroplasticity, making it possible for patients to recover substantial function that was lost to focal dystonia. For some dystonias, Deep brain stimulation may be considered where BoNT treatment fails. If the dystonia is cause by an underlying nerve entrapment, surgical decompression has shown to have improvement in some cases.

Prognosis
Recovery from focal dystonia has varying results, ranging from minimal improvement in function to complete recovery and ranging from weeks to years.

Prevention
Though studies on prevention of focal dystonia is limited, it is believed for musician's dystonia that mindfulness of muscle use and proper rest can help prevent focal dystonia and injury.

Musician's dystonia
Musician's dystonia treatment studies have yielded varying results. This condition can often be misdiagnosed as psychogenic, as this was previously thought to be its cause. In this population, men are affected more than women from 20 to 60 years of age. Evaluation of musician's dystonia should include history before and after symptom onset and observation of playing the instrument, as deficits can be subtle and considered minor to the general population. Treatment modalities available, such as BoNT/A, leave many musicians unsatisfied due to muscle weakness and lack of improvement in muscle control. In musicians, this is commonly associated with overuse or high volume of practicing. Though musician's dystonia presents initially as task-specific, one study found that the dystonia can progress outside of playing their instrument.

Treatments such as splinting and sensorimotor retraining for focal hand dystonia have shown to be beneficial with varying results. It is important to consider the mental health and social aspect of this condition as a musician's self-identity and career can be affected considerably. The approach to treating musician's dystonia requires an understanding and collaboration with the musician to obtain a complete history and tailor treatment and education effectively. The most successful treatment for musician's dystonia has been a multidisciplinary approach, involving physicians, physical therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and music instructors, focusing on rehabilitation that can involve retraining the brain to play their instrument again and even learning to play other instruments.

Pokagon State Park

Pokagon State Park is an Indiana state park in the northeastern part of the state, near the village of Fremont and 5 mi north of Angola. It was named for the 19th-century Potawatomi chief, Leopold Pokagon, and his widely known son, Simon Pokagon, at Richard Lieber's suggestion. The 1260 acre park has an inn, camping facilities, and a staff of full-time naturalists. Pokagon receives nearly 640,000 visitors annually.

Overview
The park is bordered by Lake James on the west and south and Snow Lake on the north. Various wetlands can be seen throughout the park, and the Potawatomi Nature Preserve makes up a large portion of its east side. Over 10 mi of hiking trails wind through the park.

The Wisconsin Glacier, the last of the ice age's four glaciers that covered Indiana, created the rolling terrain found in Pokagon. Glaciation's influence can be seen in many of the features of the park, including Lake Londiaw (a kettle lake), Hell's Point (a kame), and various glacial erratics.

The toboggan run is a popular destination during the winter. Visitors can reach speeds of 35–40 mph on the quarter-mile (400 m) long track.

History
Pokagon State Park was created in 1925. Through fundraising efforts, the citizens of the county purchased the first 580 acre, much of it farmland, on the shores of Lake James. The county citizens donated this land to the Department of Conservation, State of Indiana, which added two additional parcels the following year, bringing the park up to 707 acre. In 1927, the newly christened Potawattomi Inn opened its doors. In 1934, Pokagon Boy's Camp opened in what is now the State Park's group camping area; many of the camp's buildings have been repurposed for their current uses.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

Civilian Conservation Corps
In 1934, chapter 556 of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) arrived at Pokagon. During the ensuing eight years, the CCC constructed many of the best-known buildings at Pokagon including the Gate House, the Spring Shelter, the Saddle Barn, the first three incarnations of the toboggan run, and, not least, the CCC Shelter, a National Register of Historic Places site. Behind the Beach House, the land quickly rises to a bluff overlooking the lake.

The CCC also planted trees—sometimes in precise lines—and created roads and trails. They even published their own newsletter, the Pokagon Chieftain. The CCC was instrumental in transforming Pokagon into the rustic park it is today.

Presently the park contains 1260 acre. Efforts were made to secure a property across the street from Pokagon. It was officially transferred in June 2007. It will be managed by Pokagon State Park and called Trine State Recreation Area.

Potawatomi Inn
The Potawatomi Inn opened in 1927 only two years after the park was created. The Inn contained 40 guest rooms, the dining room and the Lonidaw Lounge. Along the south of the dining room, was an open porch, overlooking Lake James. A room cost $3 for the night. In the 1960s additional rooms were added to the west. The original rooms were equipped with bathrooms and the long porch on the south was enclosed to create a sunny area overlooking the lake. During the 1980s a swimming pool with an outdoor deck was added on the south side of the new wing. Increased demand allowed for the park to expand in the 1990s and in 1995 the conference center opened with additional guest rooms.

Potawatomi Nature Preserve
Located across the eastern half of the park, it is accessible from three separate trails, (#3, #6, #9). This is a varied environment of marsh, hardwood forests, pine forest and sand hills.

Beechwood Nature Preserve
Located outside the park on its northeastern corner, the preserve is accessible from Trail 8. A 1.5 mi loop trail covers the old meadows. The area is become covered by gray dogwood and other pioneer woody plants. The area features yellow birch, red maple, blue beech, and skunk cabbage. The remnants of an old apple orchard may still be visible. Access is also available from State Road 127.

Fish and wildlife
The common fish found in Lake James include: yellow perch, largemouth bass, northern pike, bluegill, rock bass, and spotted gar.

Beavers, coyotes, and foxes can be found in this park.

Pokagon and its surrounding lakes are the home for a variety of birds. Common birds such as ducks, geese, gulls, and purple martins can be found when the lake is not frozen. Migrating birds such as loons, grebes, and double-crested cormorants can also be observed by visitors, typically during autumn. Hawks and red-headed woodpeckers can be seen year around, as can barred and great horned owls. Several bald eagles were sighted on the lake in 2006. Other birds that can be observed by visitors including brown creepers, veeries, several types of warblers, bluebirds, Carolina wrens, Baltimore orioles, and pileated woodpeckers.

Amphibians include: mud puppies, salamanders, and frogs

The common reptiles include: the garter snake, the eastern massasauga, the hognose snake, the northern water snake, plus the painted turtle, snapping turtle, and the soft shell turtle. All of which are available to see at the nature center.
