Winding Waters Natural Area
About this site
Thank you for visiting Winding Waters Natural Area and helping us document the seasonal water level and vegetation change at this created wetland. The wetland area that you photographed was once cattle grazing land. In 2010 Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management created this 155 acre wetland in order to provide wading bird habitat and critical ground water storage. Birdlife is abundant with bald eagles, anhingas, green herons, belted kingfishers, wood storks, roseate spoonbills, and loggerhead shrikes making appearances.
