We will hike 3-4 miles through the Seneca Meadows Wetlands Preserve, which is a combination of forest, prairie and wetlands. Our guide will be Amy Barra, Environmental Education Specialist for the Montezuma Audubon Center.  She will describe the area’s wide variety of native wildflowers, and point out sections of upland prairie, wetlands and ponds. Waterfowl should be abundant this time of year, and there is an area inhabited by beavers, so bring your field glasses. Trails can be wet in areas.
