Keystone Wetlands is home to many species of birds and is a stop on a migratory route for even more. Over 193 species of birds have been spotted there, including 22 species considered rare by the Audubon Society. These archaic wetlands, protected by Federal Law, depict the wetlands that once lined the Rio Grande.
The Botanical Garden at Keystone is a project adopted by the Junior League of El Paso in the year 2000. In 2003, the Rotary Club of El Paso committed to building Phase Two of the garden. The Garden encompasses features such as a Xeric demonstration garden, a children’s garden, an amphitheater, a moonlight garden, an ethno-botanical garden and more. This Garden represents an approximate $1.2 million investment in our community and is the result of donations and volunteer work by individuals and businesses on both sides of our border.
The Wetlands are open from 7AM till Noon daily and is free. The entrance gate to get into the wetlands is just to the north of the main entrance. The Botanical garden is open Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM till 2:00 PM and there is a $2.00 adult and $1.00 child entry fee (worth EVERY penny of it).
Spend some time in the garden while you're there...you'll enjoy it!
