After successfully raising your salmon* for release, join Nature Center staff to explore the shores of Lake St. Clair and its coastal wetland habitat. We will discuss the importance of wetland habitats to salmon as well as many other species found in the park and lake. Students will have an opportunity to walk along the Point Rosa Marsh Boardwalk and nature trails to see the wildlife that calls our park home.
