Salt Marshes, like the one at the Marcia Woolworth Salt Marshes, like the one at the Marcia Woolworth Porter Preserve, are critical habitat for birds and wildlife, and act as nurseries for shellfish and fish. Tidal wetlands are also active in pollution control, filtering out pollutants before they enter the Sound. And their ability to absorb water means that they provide a natural barrier to flooding and sea level rise. When you join Avalonia, you help protect many miles of shoreline, both along the coast and our rivers. Please join or renew your membership today. Link in profile.

Hi everyone! Just a reminder - we love dogs, but t Hi everyone! Just a reminder - we love dogs, but they MUST be leashed when you are on our preserves. The reasons are many - even though we are sure your dogs are awesome, other people may be scared of them. Also, other dogs who are on leash may get aggressive when encountering a dog off leash and one or both dogs could be injured. Finally, off-leash dogs can disturb sensitive wildlife habitat. So, PLEASE, if you bring your dogs to an Avalonia preserve, they absolutely MUST be on a leash. 🐶 #myavalonia #avalonialandconservancy #dogsontrails #dogsonadventures #doggyadventures #landpreservation
