Short Description of Activity
A short hike on a boardwalk in a wetlands; the land is owned by Benton County Parks Department. This beautiful wetlands has a significant amount of native plants and birds but it is being encroached upon by invasives and the boardwalk is in disrepair and needs funding to replace it. The intention is to walk here to observe the changes with the seasons. HIke was led by a certified naturalist who is very knowledgable of the area and who will likely join the Broads.
Reflection/Evaluation
Excellent conversations and a few new members joined us.
