What's happening at Green Cay in February 2009?
Green Cay Wetlands and Nature Center is located at 12800 Hagen Ranch Road,
west of Boynton Beach between Boynton Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue.
The wetlands are open seven days a week, from sunrise to sunset.
Why not explore the wetlands' habitat to see the birds, mammals, reptiles, insects,
and fish? Inside the Nature Center there are educational exhibits and guides to
answer your questions. There is a lovely gift shop, too.
From Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation Department: "THE GREEN CAY
PROJECT is built on farmland formerly owned by Ted and Trudy Winsberg.
Construction began in 2003 as a nature center and wetland, using nutrient-rich
water that is pumped into the wetland from a nearby wastewater treatment plant.
As the water flows through the wetland, the plants and soil naturally filter the
water and reintroduce it into the water cycle."
