Review:

A vernal marsh is a pool of water that collects temporarily, serving as a habitat for certain animal and plant life, and Madrona Marsh is an excellent example of one of these rare ecosystems. Vernal marshes like Madrona Marsh have been slowly disappearing over the centuries since European settlers first came to California. Visitors to Madrona Marsh can explore some of the 43 acres of marshland to spot birds and other animals that are usually very rare in urbanized regions. Madrona Marsh is open to visitors on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, as well as weekends, and offers many organized hikes, lectures, nature walks, and bird watching walks.
