The Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Park in Carpinteria, California is an area of swampy land reserved and preserved for wildlife, generally birds. You'll see herons, cranes and ducks there quite often as well as seabirds due to the close proximity of the ocean. The tidal waters bring in small fish such as smelt which the birds feed on, as well as larger predatory fish, even small sharks.

Here is a compilation of some of the things we saw on the Advanced Wetland Soils and Mitigation field trip. This was taken day 1 of the field trip at Sandy Bottom Park in Hampton, Virginia. It was a very cold and windy day! Also I would like to thank to Dr. Daniels and Dr. Galbraith for making this trip possible. And thank you to every one else on the trip who made it such a fun experience.

Sungei Buloh was designated as a nature park in 1989 and in 2002 Sungei Buloh was officially designated as a nature reserve and renamed as Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve to better reflect its status. It is a region with a long history, once a big mangrove forest with a rich flora and fauna. But man also discovered this fertile region and used it for fish farming. Not for long, because people soon discovered that the entire mangrove ecosystem was intact. Mudskippers, crab, shellfish, water snakes, spiders, lizards and birds. This 130ha ecological jewel includes a wondrous birdlife, particularly during the migratory season when huge flocks of shorebirds visit the reserve. This 28 minutes documentary is part of the tv-series WONDERS of WILDERNESS and is available on DVD at WWW.FAUNAFILM.NL

Come for a look round out local Wetland Park known as Fairy Dell. There are some interesting wood carvings and some smaller sights of nature. We went to feed the ducks in Fairy Dell Wetland and took my camcorder with me to show you round. It was the 5 December 2011 and there was a chill in the air and it was dry but had been raining and was wet so we thought the duck may be hungry. Remember this was taken when both cold and wet and therefore bay not represent the best that Fairy Dell Wetland call offer, but this is one of the changing seasons' of nature. Also this video does not show all of Fairy Dell Wetland which has a bigger area than showing this video.

Wetlands in the land of Israel (both Jewish state and Palestinian autonomy) have suffered a great decline in the 20th century. Most of the fresh water in Israel is concentrated in a 1/5 of its' territory, in the northern part. Of these waters, some are piped and pumped for human use, while the rest is usually polluted with sewage. Most of the marshland has been dried in the war against malaria. This has resulted in peat-fires of the dry soil and in the extinction of several endemic species. Now-a-days, we love and protect our few remaining wetlands. Descriptions by picture: 1 -(title pic) The Hulah Nature Reserve - biggest wetland in modern Israel. A fraction of Lake Hulah, which was dried in the 50's in order to clear land for griculture. 2 - The Hulah Mini-lake: A second nature park erected on the remains of Lake Hulah. 3 - Cobwebs in the morning dew - Hulah valley. 4 - Cyperus papyrus (Papyrus segde) - The Northernmost papyrus population in the world.

The Kuala Selangor Nature Park (KSNP), also known as Taman Alam Kuala Selangor, has been managed by the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) since 1987, and is one of the best places to enjoy nature in Selangor. This is especially so for birds enthusiasts, as it has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International. The whole area formerly consisted of only mangrove forests, but after the coastal bund was built, the result was that the mangroves were unable to flourish compared to before as forest species thrived and dominated the area. Hence, as of now, the park spans over 201 hectares in area, with 95 hectares being the mangrove forest and the rest are secondary forests (source). The main highlights of this wetland park are the 3 different types of habitats - (i) brackish lake (read about brackish water here), (ii) mangroves and mud flats, and (iii) secondary forests (read about secondary forests here); whereby 156 species of birds (resident and migratory) have been documented seen here so far. The park is also home to a variety of insects, reptiles, crabs, mammals, etc.

www.youtube.com Students at St. Petersburg College and residents of Seminole now have a new venue to explore nature. SPC officials opened the first phase of its Natural Habitat Park and Environmental Center on Aug. 31 with a crowd of about 200 on hand who were not fazed by the morning heat. The park is located immediately north of the school's University Partnership Building and the Seminole Community Library. The first phase includes a pavilion with seating for 50, a sidewalk out to the park area, a 200-yard boardwalk that meanders between four ponds, a floating dock in one of the ponds and a pair of observation decks at the end of two trails. The first phase was built at a cost of about $600000. Of that amount, $475000 came from a US Department of Housing and Urban Development grant and $100000 from the city of Seminole. The remaining $25000 was contributed by SPC. The 40-acre park will serve as an outdoor classroom for SPC science students and a quiet, relaxing place close to nature for others. In addition to the floating dock, there are 12 native plant habitat stations along the walkway. They focus on a wax myrtle, slash pine, red maple tree, pickerel weed, laurel oak trees, pine trees, red bay trees, swamp fern, southern magnolia trees, water oak trees, a wetland habitat and a place to rest and reflect. The park also includes 185 species of birds, 24 varieties of dragonflies, seven types of butterflies, 24 species of amphibians and reptiles, and nine varieties of <b>...</b>

It's been a while since my last vlog. Recently I was in Las Vegas on business to attend Blackhat and Def Con 2010. Lucky for me, my family lives in Vegas so I got to take a little extra time to do some non-work related things. I like to fancy myself a hiker / boulder climber (boulderer?) so whenever I'm out west I take the opportunity to climb and hike whenever I can. I did a little climbing in the Charleston range, but I didn't stay long or have a camera with me (dumb) so I made sure on my second trip to the Wetlands Park I brought along the Flip.

Accessible version: www.epa.gov As more Americans dwell in cities and suburbs, our society becomes increasingly distanced from the natural world. This absence of everyday connections to nature has many negative effects-especially for children. Pockets of remaining wetland in developed areas often provide the easiest access to nature. Yet these wetlands may be degraded and go unnoticed. Urban and suburban wetlands are valuable resources to be restored, protected and enjoyed. These remnants of the natural world in the human landscape can play a key role in reconnecting people to nearby nature-thereby improving the health of our children and our communities.

Loango National park in Gabon, Africa is a precious wetland area. One of the fascinating species in Loango is the Gorilla. Like many precious areas, Loango is under threat: A Chinese petroleum company searched for oil in this area. But it was done in a pretty nature-friendly way. If they do find oil, will they still be able to extract oil in the same Nature-friendly way? Will they chase away the gorillas?

Rattray Marsh is an "environmental gem" located in a unique natural setting within the City of Mississauga. As the last remaining lakefront marsh between Toronto and Burlington , this environmentally sensitive wetland is home to a variety of wildlife and plants and a definite must see for avid bird watchers, photographers and nature lovers. Secured by The CVC (Credit Valley Conservation) in 1972 and officially opened in 1975, Rattray represents many things to its visitors. Some remember how it was saved from the developer who planned to fill it in and build homes, while others remember it as a living classroom where they came for guided tours to learn about nature. The CVC, along with local residents and other interest groups have implemented numerous trail upgrades in order to preserve the area's many sensitive features. Raised platforms allow for wider and higher pathways designed to keep visitors on the main trails and the natural areas undisturbed. The popular waterfront trail travels through the property but there is no cycling allowed in the conservation area. In this episode we'll start by checking out the view of downtown Toronto as we enter Rattray Marsh from popular Jack Darling Park. Once we enter you will soon see the large marsh that is the centrepiece of the park. We'll walk along the raised walkways throughout the marsh, seeing the stream that meanders through it and the Canada Geese that call the marsh home. You'll also spy a bit of the very pricey real <b>...</b>

Paya Indah Wetlands (PIW) is a recreational park in Dengkil (nearby Putrajaya) that revolves around the conservation efforts of the area's peat swamp forests and freshwater lakes' ecosystems. There are 14 lakes in total and some lead to the Kuala Langat river. It was originally the brainchild idea of Malaysia's former prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir (source from park staff), as a barrier of protection against (if any) fires or floods. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PLACE: In the past the whole place used to be an abandoned tin ore mining area until 1997, when a private company took over to convert the place to be a park which was subsequently opened in year 2000. However, just 3 years into operation, the park closed in 2003 and remained so until 2005 when Jabatan PERHILITAN (Department of Wildlife and National Parks) took over the reigns of the park's management. After some major refurbishment works, the park was reopened to the public in Oct 2008 and is such till today. :) There are 3 zones - (i) Recreation zone, (ii) Education zone, and (iii) Conservation and research zone. Out of the 3, only Zone 1 is open to the general public. Zones 2 and 3 requires anyone who wishes to enter to write a letter/email to the managing Penguasa (Superintendent) of the park beforehand (piw@wildlife.gov.my) and it takes less than a week for approval. Zone 2 is mostly for school educational excursion trips, whereas Zone 3 is usually for birdwatchers and jungle trekkers. As such, if you plan to go <b>...</b>
