The Second Marsh Wildlife Area is host to marsh, swamp, wet meadows, a barrier beach and woodlot habitats. Within the Marsh, you will find sedges and cattails as well as thickets and open water. At the north end of the Marsh, a swamp and wet forest known as the Ghost Road Bush provides additional food and cover for certain wildlife. Together, with wet meadows and the surrounding uplands, this dynamic ecosystem supports a rich and diverse wildlife community. These habitats provide food and cover for over 380 plant species, 305 bird species, numerous species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and hundreds of species of insects.
This CITO event is being organized to celebrate Earthday and assist the Friends of Second Marsh with their annual community clean up of the area, both along the trails and along Col. Sam Drive.
