a tropical travel adventure to Wakodahatchee Wetlands and Loxahatchee NWR (Delray Beach, FL)

Constructed on 50 acres of a previous wastewater utility property, Wakodahatchee features a three-quarter mile boardwalk that crosses between open water pond areas and islands with shrubs and snags to foster nesting and roosting.  We will lunch at a local deli, then vist Loxahatchee NWR which consists of Everglades ecosystems including a mosaic of wet prairies, sawgrass ridges, sloughs, tree islands, cattail communities, and a 400-acre cypress swamp that provides habitat for various wildlife species.
