Orlando Wetlands FestivalThank you to our Sponsors:
The 2012 Wetlands Festival was held on February 18 at Fort Christmas Historical Park and the Orlando Wetlands Park. Over 4,000 people were in attendance. There were bird watching excursions, photo hikes, native plant identification hikes, wilderness hikes, and wetland exploration hikes. Guided bus tours and hay rides took visitors around the Wetlands Park. Live folk music was played by musician Homer Stiles. For the kids the festival offered a rock climbing wall, bounce house, tree climbing with professional arborists, kids crafts, games and face painting. The City’s Families, Parks and Recreation Department gave away free backyard trees in celebration of Arbor Day. Over 35 different exhibitors set up booths at the Festival and brought out many exciting and interesting displays. The crowd favorite is always the Audubon Birds of Prey Center with their live raptors. Special thanks goes to the Orange Audubon Society, Fort Christmas Historical Park and all of the many, many volunteers for helping to make 2012 Wetlands Festival a success.
