Join Metro this week for a rare tour of Smith and Bybee Wetlands to find out how Metro and its partners are working to restore and enhance the unique habitat at Smith and Bybee Wetlands. If marshy adventures aren't your cup of tea, watch for birds at Cooper Mountain or explore the natural beauty of Clear Creek. The best part is, most of the events are low-cost or free, and registration can be completed online. Follow the links below for more information.
