Join us for a leisurely 2-mile level wetland walk with many habitats: disturbed wetlands, farmed wetlands (blueberries), natural wetlands, open water habitats and upland forests.  We cross the bridge over Mercer Slough and look for late blooming water forget-me-not or possibly a few remaining blossoms of impatiens on the slough margins and pond weeds in the open water.

 

We continue along the Bellefields Loop to see black cottonwood, cascara and Oregon ash; these are joined by the ubiquitous red alder and a wide variety of shrubs and herbs. Some species that bloom into late fall include foamflower, American speedwell, nodding beggar's tick and big-leaved avens. We will also keep an eye out for some of the100 species of birds and mammals that inhabit this park.
