Newman Wetlands Center

Birdwatchers will delight at over 130 bird species. Take a walk along the boardwalk trail, a one-half mile long journey through nature. Keep your ears and eyes open for swimming muskrats, turtles sunning on a log, a heron searching for its next meal, or deer meandering through the woods. The preserve land once served as a Boys Scouts of America camp for African American Scouts prior to the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
