Your Wonderful Working Wetland
The Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve in Imperial Beach is hosting a free Discovery Lab to excite and engage the minds of school children and their parents to allow families to discover why wetlands are important for humans and for wildlife.
The various hands-on activities, led by scientists and educators, are interactive and are designed for visitors of all ages. Discovery Labs are held four times a year and are an opportunity to see the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve in the evening, when Light-footed Clapper Rails are calling and the lights of Tijuana are shining to the south.
The Discovery Lab series is sponsored by the County of San Diego. The Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve is not only where the Tijuana River meets the Pacific Ocean and where two countries come together, it is a rich biological area studied by federal and state scientists on the U.S. side of the border.
