The display, a collaboration between the Tom Ridge Environmental Center Foundation and other environmental groups, will educate visitors on the vital role wetlands play. It will showcase diverse habitats, native species like the state-endangered least bittern, and the restoration efforts underway to manage invasive plants and improve water quality.

Visitors can expect interactive elements, including displays on marsh restoration and the chance to hear marsh bird calls. Microscopes will allow close-up views of macroinvertebrates, indicators of ecosystem health. The exhibit is housed at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center and will open with a celebration on January 31, 2026.
