Abstract
  • The story of the Walnut Creek Wetland Center is about evolution: from liability to asset, from dump to nature preserve, from embarrassment to pride. This backwater place had been overlooked for decades until several community activists and local politicians collectively turned their attention to the area. The Center is a case study of how persistence and a moral imperative can led to success. The Center promotes interest in both the cultural and physical aspects of the wetlands, their history and use (and abuse) by humans, as well as their place in a healthy ecology.
