Beautiful tour of the Lane Family Tract at the Ortega River Preserve. We preserved 80 acres of freshwater wetlands along the Ortega River in 2017. This property is not just about pretty scenery and the wildlife that comes with it. The natural floodplain swamp found on the property is important to the resiliency of the Ortega River. Wetlands filter out nutrients and pollutants from the water as well as buffer and protect upland areas from flood events. You can read more about this property in our July 2018 newsletter found on our website. (NFLT.org) 📷: Dana Doody
