When You Visit the Marsh

When visiting the marsh, please wear appropriate clothing to protect you from the weather and unexpected skin allergies. We also advise you to carry snacks and water during your walks or strolls. Trash cans are conveniently located throughout the marsh. If you want to feed the birds or other animals, make sure to check first with the Front desk at the Nature Center .

Please be aware that the Preserve is not a "park", it is a natural habitat home to a particular group of plants and animals, which can be disturbed, killed or disrupted by domestic pets. So we request not to bring pets inside the Preserve. Bicycling, skate boarding and scooters are also prohibited in the preserve. Thank you for your full cooperation.
