Posted by an anonamous visiter:
We enjoy our visits to Huckleberry [Swamp] at
least once-a-week...we live about .7 of a mile away on Catchpole/Brick
Schoolhouse Rd. Last week we saw yellow warblers, American Redstarts, orioles,
little green heron, and heard the "noisy" Great Blue Herons feeding their young
(to the south of the boardwalk--viewable before the leaves are out on the
trees). On one of our early Spring visits we saw a Sora (rail). What a wonderful
nature trail!!! We would like to find out how to get additional T-shirts
(like the ones we got at the grand opening of Huckleberry [Swamp]) and we also
would like to know how to contribute to the continuation of your good work.
Events:
Huckleberry Swamp is
closed for the Winter.
Please check back as the weather
clears up closer to Spring. After post-Winter clean up, we'd love to
see our winged and bipedal visitors return.
At that time,
please come by and enjoy all the plants and wildlife that Spring at
Huckleberry Swamp has to offer. If you have a group that is
interested in an educational venture to Huckleberry Swamp, please contact
Margarita for information by email
or phone (585-338-1820).
Huckleberry
Swamp Grand Opening was a success!
Date:
Friday, October 4th, 2002

Swamp.
