The Celery Fields is an area of wetlands owned by Sarasota County.
The wetlands site is found on the Great Florida Birding Trail and features an observation mound, trails, and ponds. Covering more than 360 acres, the site is also Sarasota County’s main storm water collection zone.
Restoration of 100 acres of the wetlands included planting over 200,000 aquatic trees and plants as well as the construction of two boardwalks so that the public can see the wetlands and the wildlife. The site is a popular place for bird-watching and hundreds of species of birds have been seen here.
