Walk & Talk: Dragonflies at Mottola Life Estate
Description
Dragonflies at Mottola Life Estate, Lopez Island
Join us for a morning of exploring the life cycle and ecological significance of dragonflies. Once giants of the carboniferous period, learn about how they have become the "canaries of the coal mine" when it comes to wetland health today.
About the Mottola Life Estate
This nearly 11-acre private property is located just Southeast of Lopez Village. It is part of a 26-acre property that was short platted in the 1980’s. Prior to that it was undeveloped land. The pond on this property is part of a chain of man-made ponds and wetlands that begin on the properties to the east and drain to the west-southwest into Fisherman Bay.
