My Boardwalk Trip

1Last Friday, my class visited Greenmarsh Wetland. We walked on a wooden boardwalk that stretched over the water and mud. The boards creaked under our sneakers, and the air smelled like wet grass.

2First, I saw tall cattails with brown, fuzzy tops. A red-winged blackbird was perched on one of them, singing loudly. Bright green duckweed floated on top of the water like tiny pieces of confetti. Under the boardwalk, small fish darted between the plant stems.

3Next, our guide, Ms. Adeyemi, pointed to a great blue heron. It stood very still in the shallow water on its long legs. Suddenly, it snapped up a fish with its sharp beak! Ms. Adeyemi told us that herons often hunt this way.

4Near the end of the boardwalk, we stopped to read a sign. It said that a wetland works like a giant sponge. It soaks up rainwater and lets it out slowly. This helps keep nearby land from flooding. The sign also said that wetland plants help clean the water.

5On the bus ride home, I wrote notes so I would not forget anything. I am going to use them for my report about wetlands.
