World Wetlands Day is celebrated each year to raise global awareness about the vital role of wetlands for people and our planet. The wetland at Foxfire West Nature Area not only provides habitat for wildlife that depend on water, like muskrats and ducks, it's also home to a variety of wetland wildflowers. Join in our efforts to keep this ecosystem healthy by removing invasive shrubs such as buckthorn. #KeepWetlands #WorldWetlandDay Meet us at the park entrance on Birchwood Drive. Please dress in layers and wear shoes suitable for snow or wet ground. All participants must complete a release form. Tools, snacks, and know-how provided.
