This is an aerial photo at Pickering Creek Audubon Center of the approximately 70 acres of freshwater wetlands CWH designed and restored there as of 2009 using the United States Department of Agriculture’s Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), with additional funding from a number of other partners (Md DNR, Biophilia Fdn, CWH, NFWF, TWF). These marshes have become a birding hotspot.
This is the first wetland CWH did at Pickering.
