News from the Wetlands



Did you know Discovery Center is adjacent to 20 acres of wetland habitat? Wetland areas are crucial ecosystems that provide vital habitats for plants and animals, support the food chain, cleanse our water and control and mitigate floods.

Learn more about wetlands with the Discovery Center's News from the Wetlands videos. These videos feature students from McFadden School of Excellence, Central Middle School and Riverdale High School.
