Animal sightings this weekend at the
Interpretive Center
Every week, visitors and members of our staff see numerous animals in the hills, valleys and wetlands near the Interpretive Center .
When you visit the Interpretive Center, ask our staff about the best way and places to look for animals in the watershed. Let us know what you see and we'll add them to each week's list!
Of course, there are all kinds of animals who live at the 20,000 acre watershed. These are the ones we spotted last weekend.
Sightings between
5/09/08 and 5/11/2008
