Watsonville Wetlands Alive! Tours

Explore the Watsonville wetlands, little-visited pockets of solitude and untamed beauty. Tour the Fitz Wetlands Educational Resource Center (the WERC), an important resource and activity center for students and teachers in the Pajaro Valley schools. Learn about the Watsonville Wetlands Watch, the organization which runs the WERC and which is dedicated to the preservation of Watsonville’s wetlands. Explore a native-plant restoration area and enjoy views of the wetlands and its active birdlife.
