Swift Wetland
This 21.6-acre wetland in Delmar, directly across Delaware Avenue from the Bethlehem High School sports field, was a gift from the Swift Group. It includes a 1-acre man-made wetland, created as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's permit and mitigation plan for two of Swift's housing developments in the Delmar area. The Bethlehem High School Science Department used a grant administered by the Conservancy to integrate the wetland into the school's earth science and biology curriculums as an outdoor classroom. The Swift has several trails built by Chris Joyce as his Eagle Scout project for a local Boy Scout troop. Local volunteers, with funds donated by The Friendship Singers, built the kiosk at the Preserve's entrance.
