Unique wildlife oasis, perhaps the last of all ecosystems in urbanized areas. An environment to be respected and carefully maintained. I think of the devastation that routes D and C of the foothill highway will cause. Let's stop useless works and preserve what our territory still offers us.

oasis worth visiting, perhaps in autumn and winter as there are fewer people around and it is easier to encounter animals

Wonderful natural oasis. It is a marshy area, rich in river vegetation and very rich in fauna, ranging from amphibians, to dragonflies to grebes, herons, woodpeckers etc. Unfortunately, the Louisiana red crayfish is also present, which as the name suggests is an invasive species. Correct behavior is recommended, do not scare the animals, be careful where you walk so as not to step on amphibians, do not leave waste, no noise etc. However, there are information signs with the rules to follow

To visit this Oasis you need to contact for a guided tour. Inside you will have to follow some small rules: silence, don't touch anything, dress appropriately (no bright colors) black or green. And then knowing how to listen and look... hurray.
