Welcome to Pearl's Fen!
A fen is one of the rarest wetlands classes and contains a very high diversity of plant and animal life. In many cases, these plants and animals live nowhere else. Their unique makeup produces organic peat soil – sometimes as much as six feet deep – which acts as a natural water purification system. There's something interesting to see all through the year. Spring and summer, when flowers are plentiful and wildlife active, are the best times to come with a camera.
Follow the boardwalk to reach this spot. It's a loop, so either direction will do. You can reach the container without leaving the path, though you will need to kneel. The boardwalk is wheelchair accessible, but someone in a wheelchair will have trouble reaching the container itself.
