Woodman Fen Conservation Area

37-acre natural area is located west of Woodman Drive adjacent to the Belmont neighborhood. The site is an old bog, or alkaline fen, that was used for agriculture and dumping for many years. The thick deposits of peat are still there and the site has great potential to return to a wetland full of the beautiful native plants that were once found there. MetroParks is actively restoring the site and eventually hopes to have trails and a boardwalk to allow the neighborhood and the public to learn about this unique site.
