Join us on July 12th at 10:00 am at the Watershed Nature Center in Edwardsville Illinois. The Watershed Nature Center promotes itself as “a unique green space where you can relax and reconnect with nature.” The Watershed Nature Center was founded in 1991 when local community members John and Kay Kendall proposed turning an abandoned sewage lagoon into a nature center. The City of Edwardsville endorsed the plan to transform the lagoon into a city park, and the Nature Preserve Foundation, a 501(c) 3 organization, was formed to manage the land. This is a perfect outing opportunity for the entire family (KID FREINDLY)! We will be walking along the (flat) one-mile trail that borders the perimeter of the park and stopping along the way to learn about the 3 different habitat types (wetland, upland prairie, and forest) and the flora and fauna that can be found at the nature center. We will meet at the visitor’s center adjacent to the parking lot at 10:00 a.m. and begin the walk at 10:15 after a brief introduction. Trail map.
