About this site
The Blackbird Creek Reserve component of the DNERR is located in Townsend, Delaware and features several restoration projects including a living shoreline, native pollinator garden, native tree plots, and afforestation projects. With the help of volunteers, the DNERR has planted native trees to restore native coastal forest habitat and reconnect an important wildlife corridor. Over time, these planted tree saplings will grow and change this area from a managed meadow to young growth forest. Help us observe habitat succession by uploading your photo. Thank you for helping us observe the change over time.
