Exploring the Wonders of Wetlands

May is American Wetlands Month, making it the perfect time to learn about the importance of wetlands to your community. Join us to learn what wetlands are, what flora and fauna live in them, and how they adapt to this environment. Participants will enjoy a guided walk through the restored and constructed NRCS wetlands at Duke Farms. While no waders are needed, bring shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy.

Program Guidelines

Registration is required. Meet in front of the Farm Barn Orientation Center 10 to 15 minutes prior to the start of the program.

Please let us know if you are no longer able to attend so your space can be offered to someone else. Cancellations received at least 48 hours in advance are eligible for a refund, if applicable. Programs at Duke Farms are RAIN or SHINE, but in the event of severe weather, classes may be canceled. Email notice will be given as early as possible via email and refunds will be issued in the case of cancellations.

This program will take place on paved, gravel, and dirt trails with no significant grade. Participants may use some dirt trails with narrow boardwalks, but this is optional.
