Oxbow Meadows Treetop Trail
Interpretive Themes

While most canopy trails around the world take visitors through pristine forest ecosystems, most of us aren't lucky enough to live in such a paradise.  Oxbow's canopy trail will enable visitors to explore an ecosystem that makes sense at home - a system that is recovering from the impacts of human activity.
Students and visitors will be able to watch as native species compete with exotic species to form a new ecosystem.  What relationships will form between the various species of plants and animals?  Come watch and find out!
The Oxbow canopy trail will also position visitors for a unique view into its exciting wetlands and riparian habitat.  Here, too, a mix of native and introduced species are competing to shape the makeup of this wet zone.  How will native beavers, amphibians and alligators adapt to the changing ecosystem?  How about the many forest and wetland birds?  There's a balcony seat awaiting you as the events unfold.
