This SES model shows the social-ecological system of the park. Myself, and others who visit the park are park of the system. We walk on the worn path and the grass. We pick flowers and let our dogs run around. We are as much a part of this environment as anything else. The plants and animals that live in this area by the lake are affected by human presence. Everything affects everything else and at this small scale in a park is no exception.
