SOLD OUT: Wetlands and Waterfowl

The Nemours Wildlife Foundation invites you to discover wintering waterfowl using the managed wetlands on our property! Join a Nemours staff member for a guided tour behind the property’s gates. Visitors get a chance to view managed tidal impoundments, inland rice fields, and other unique landscapes.

The tour includes:

• A 20-minute presentation about the importance of wetlands for wintering waterfowl and other wildlife.
• A 1.5-hour tour of the property led by a Nemours staff member. This tour is a combination driving and walking tour. Attendees will walk on hard-packed dirt roads for approximately 0.5-miles to an observation tower in our managed wetland (1-mile round trip). Attendees with mobility concerns can be shuttled to the observation tower, if necessary.
• A bird’s-eye view of a managed wetland from our newly constructed observation tower.
• Plenty of stops to enjoy the sights, sounds, and wildlife.

All ages welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Please note, tours are weather dependent. In the event of cancellation due to severe weather, the tour WILL NOT be rescheduled. Instead, you are welcome to sign up for the next available public tour.

While the tour is offered free of charge, donations are vital to the advancement of our mission: to facilitate conservation and human well-being in the ACE Basin and beyond through collaborative scientific research, leadership development, management demonstration, and experiential education. If you are inspired to support our mission, DONATIONS of any size are greatly appreciated. Alternatively, cash donations can be left in a donation box located inside the duPont Conservation Hall on the day of your tour. These donations help us maintain the property, fund student research, and offer educational programs (including these public tours!) to the community.
