INTRODUCTION

The marshes of Windsor Castle Park are irresistible. The reedy area is full of stories—Will the heron catch the crab? Where is the muskrat going? What are these little fish trying to escape? These stories often come from the duel nature of this place. The brackish waters of the creeks meet the land, and both share with each other their nutrients, living creatures and physical features. In doing so, a distinctive habitat is created—watery and earthy. Come and see who lives here and understand more of why the park’s marshes are special places.  Select Life in the Marsh and Marsh Dynamics to learn more.
