Description

Drop by and join National Park Service Ranger Jerry Hightower at an informal "investigation station" at the Gunby Creek Wetland Boardwalk! Ranger Jerry will have cattails to examine with magnifiers and microscopes. Determine wetland soils from upland soils, discover the tiny monsters that live in wetland water, and learn why wetlands are so very important. Have fun with this casual and informal look into this wetland habitat!
