On Sunday, July 24th, UW Emeritus Limnology Professor John Magnuson led an educational tour of the Class of 1918 Marsh. In total we had 11 attendees join the trip. We started at Picnic Point Parking lot and followed the walking trail that circles the marsh. Throughout our tour, John provided historical information about the marsh-did you know the marsh use to be a corn field! We also discussed salt runoff impacting the marsh. We finished the tour at the boardwalk lookout which provided a view of the pond hidden behind the cattails! Report by Diana Tapia Ramon, with photos from Glenda Denniston.
