Field Trip: Wetlands Restoration in the Lower Cowpasture River
Join Us for our Upcoming Field Trip: Wetlands Restoration in the Lower Cowpasture River Valley led by Michael Hayslett Sunday, April 6, 2025
Explore rare mountain wetlands and their fascinating aquatic wildlife. These special habitats are known as vernal pools, with Spring being the busiest time for these seasonal wetlands. Join us for a tour of three riparian conservation projects located within the lower Cowpasture River Valley.
The conservation sites are located on the property of Cowpasture River Valley landowners who have been or are currently engaged in wetlands and riparian improvement projects. The tour will examine both the natural and constructed model of wetlands with their enhanced habitat. We will also discuss their ecology. In addition, we will visit one or two historical vernal pool wetland sites nearby.
Cost is $20 per person. Limit of 20 people total.
