Our passionate Stewards from the 2010 Wetlands Institute, Diane and Sue, have decided to share the birthday of their pet wetland.

On June 4th, they donned their custom made Swamp Patrol t-shirts and decided to celebrate the momentous occasion. Sue described the event with pride in an email:

“Yesterday was the SP 1 year birthday. There were 6 geese and 2 mallards on the water when we got there. We celebrated by digging up thistles for a couple of hours. It barely made a dent but a few more visits should help. We bought the swamp a birthday present with our beer can money! 3 bales of barley straw to put out on the ice this winter.”
