Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad and Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge
from Changing Planet Justice · host parkwakeupcall
Sometimes, refuges come in many forms. Learn about tidal marshes like no other, where the legacies of Freedom Seekers, abolitionists, and Underground Railroad "conductors" are sewn into the fabric of Blackwater's wilderness--wetlands that provide temporary respite for 50,000 migrating birds. Climate change threatens to literally and figuratively erode both the stories of the past and the species, habitats, and ecosystems of the present, as rising waters seize thousands of acres of marshland.
