Grass fields

The grassy fields that occasionally dominate the upland habitat may seem sparse and dry, but nothing could be further from the truth. Look closer and you'll see thousands of buzzing insects, from the blue dasher dragonfly, to the gulf fritillary butterfly, and the western honey bee. Unfortunately, fields such as these are often over run with invasive cogon grass, which prevents other beneficial native plants from growing. In the future, Se7en Wetlands hopes to replace this invasive species with native wildflowers and attract even more important insect and bird pollinators.
