Williamsburg is home to headwater wetlands and streams that are fed by natural watershed systems. It is being ensured that the variety of wildlife that lives and breeds here is allowed to survive and flourish.
What used to be an idyllic rustic setting has suffered the ravages of time, greed for land and hunting. The wetlands and their wildlife need continual conservation by focusing on issues to safeguard their existence. Williamsburg is committed to the survival of its wetlands by enhancing and inspiring naturalists and environmentalists to help with ongoing conservation work.
The swampy marshes of the region are now being protected. It is with hope and discovery that the natural areas are being developed and restored. The habitat is being safeguarded for water birds like waterfowl, colonial waterbirds, shorebirds, and rails and allies. Special tours led by archaeologists and naturalists will be seeing to the development of the ecosystem.
Wetlands are the most productive ecosystems in the world. Wildlife surveys listed the many species of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles that are part of the diverse community here. Management practices ensure increased biodiversity and improved wetlands.
