Wetland Wanders tour of Siebenthaler Fen

Join our Wetland Wanders tour of Siebenthaler Fen

Join other WSU retirees on a Wetland Wanders tour of Siebenthaler Fen with WSU alumnus Dave Nolin on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 10 a.m. Considered the crown jewel of the Beaver Creek Wetlands corridor, Siebenthaler Fen offers an accessible one-mile trail with many opportunities for wildlife viewing. Learn about the importance and rarity of this fen while enjoying its beautiful late summer/early fall blooms. Bring your binoculars to see the variety of birds that call the wetlands home.

This tour will be on the one-mile boardwalk, which is wheelchair accessible. Some sections of the boardwalk have slight gradient changes and may be wet depending on previous days’ weather. Sturdy shoes are recommended. The fen is a hunting area September through January. Visitors should wear bright colors during hunting season. Siebenthaler Fen is located near the intersection of Beaver Valley Road and Fairground Road in Beavercreek. There is a parking area off Fairground Road.

In the event of a light rain, the tour will continue. A rain date of Thursday, Sept. 22, at 10 a.m., is scheduled in case of a storm. This event is free, but the tour is limited to 16 participants, so sign up soon.
