Though the semi-permanent wetland observed from the Boardwalk Trail has water almost all the time, seasonal changes may still be observed. The cattails surrounding the wetland grow and dry as the year progresses, and the water level changes with seasonal rains or spells of extended drought.
Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is located in San Antonio, Socorro County, New Mexico. Situated between the Chupadera Mountains to the west and the San Pascual Mountains to the east, the 57,331 acre Bosque del Apache was established in 1939 to provide a critical stopover site for migrating waterfowl. The refuge is well known for the tens of thousands of cranes, geese, and ducks who winter here each year. Over 30,000 acres of Bosque del Apache are designated wilderness.
