March 10th – Wakodahatchee Wetlands
These constructed wetlands were designed
to recycle highly treated wastewater from the county’s water reclamation
facility. In addition, they provide
approximately 50 acres of freshwater marsh habitat for wetland birds. The elevated boardwalk offers unbelievable
views of many wading birds, ducks, and grebes.
This location has become a favorite nesting spot for Wood Storks. It is a great place for the birds (and
birders) and also walkers and nature lovers.
