It was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1972.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heron Pond - Little Black Slough Nature Preserve: Johnson County )〕 As part of the Cache River basin, it is classified as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention. ==Biological history== The Heron Pond – Little Black Slough Nature Preserve protects a swath of Cache River drainage upstream from the Post Creek Cutoff. It combines upland limestone bluffs (''Wildcat Bluff''), Cache River floodplain, and a drier mesic woodland (''Boss Island''). The wetland sections of this Nature Preserve protect several old growths of bald cypress and water tupelo. A heron rookery has been logged here. The ''Wildcat Bluff'' upland may commemorate one of the nature preserve's top carnivores, the bobcat. There are also river otters here. Birdwatchers come to Heron Pond - Little Black Slough to search for a variety of raptors, including the black vulture, red-shouldered hawk, and the barred owl, and enjoy a variety of songbirds, including the Kentucky warbler and the yellow-throated warbler.〔
