Whitfield Today

In collaboration with dedicated local, state, and national agencies and volunteers, the District is constructing moist meadow units and new wetlands, protecting existing wetlands, planting food plots for migrating and resident birds and wildlife, and restoring native vegetation in riparian buffer zones for food and shelter for wildlife.

The Whitfield Wildlife Conservation Area attracts a diverse group of tourists, birdwatchers, hikers, and students who want to learn about wetlands ecology in an otherwise arid place.

Constructed in 2009, the Education Center building serves as a visitor center and environmental education facility. We hope to provide learning opportunities to local school children and sponsor teacher workshops, a lecture series, adult education programs, special events, and other programs.
