The South Florida Water Management District and Reclamation Facility have been active in constructing wetlands in Palm Beach County including the Wakodahatchee Wetlands and the Green Cay Nature Center.

Wakodahatchee (meaning “created waters” in Seminole and located in Delray) was created on 50 acres of unused utility land and transformed into a wetland that fosters nesting and roosting for many bird species, alligators, turtle and other wildlife.

The Green Cay Nature Center (located in Boynton Beach) overlooks 100 acres of constructed wetland. If you enjoy nature, they are worth a visit.
