Looking for a way to enjoy the warm weather? Join Land Health Institute for Urban-Eco Wonderwalks led by Scott Quitel! Take this opportunity to explore new places, learn about Philadelphia's rich history, meet new people, and enjoy the fresh air.
Did you realize that Philadelphia is an Estuary City? That the city once teemed with living, breathing, tidal rivers, creeks, marshes, and swamps? That the dutch called the Schuylkill “Hidden River” because it was so lushly awash in tall marsh grasses that they didn’t realize a big river flowed into the Delaware? The best spot to get a sense of Philadelphia’s former intimate connection with tidal ecosystems is John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge. Come out and see the estuary getting ready for spring. Bring your imagination and binoculars, if you have them. And be ready to take in birds and reeds and creeks and things.
