From buzzing bees, singing birds and flowers unfurling, Newman Wetlands Center is coming to life.

The wetlands area gives residents an opportunity to immerse themselves in nature via the half-mile trail and Learning Center. The center offers numerous exhibits from rocks to animals.

A picnic pavilion offers a place to rest and enjoy a meal. However, no grills, balloons or plastic decor is permitted.

The half-mile trail at Newman Wetlands Center offers a sun-dappled walk winding through the center. Visit henryherald.com to listen to the sounds of the wetlands center. (Courtesy of Heather Middleton)
