Site: Great Cypress Swamp
DOS President Joe Francis and Vice President Scott Northey joined the Delaware Master Naturalists in early March for a tour of Delaware’s Great Cypress Swamp, the largest continuous freshwater wetland in the state. The area is managed by Delaware Wild Lands, and the tour was led by their field ecologist, Andrew Martin, and Executive Director, Marcia Fox.
Scott and Joe brought loaner binoculars and answered questions about local birdlife while Andrew pointed out the amazing work DWL has been doing to restore the natural hydrology and replant Bald Cypress and Atlantic White Cedar.
DOS’ Bird-A-Thon supports conservation projects across the state and will be collaborating on more joint field trips like this with our conservation partners in the months ahead.
