Look for smaller fenced enclosures within the larger one. One contains the state endangered species Swamp Pink (Heliotus bullata). It is endangered because more than 50% of wetlands in this country have been lost and it is difficult to establish it in areas where it hadn’t existed previously. This area has also been planted with Cardinal flower, Turtlehead and Buttonbush. Wetland systems have been shown to contain higher levels of biodiversity, and therefore it is important that they are protected.
