WOOD DUCK PROJECT
The Wood Duck Project is a cooperative effort with the Anita C. Leight Estuary Center, the Izaak Walton League of America - Harford County, and Harford Christian School (HCS). Under the direction of the Park Manager, and with the help of the Center's staff, the students of Ada Stambaugh from HCS have been actively involved with this project since the fall of 2001.
Wood Duck Project Information
Since 2001, Harford Christian School has been participating in the Wood Duck Project at the Bosely Conservancy along Otter Point Creek. The goal is to maintain the current population of wood ducks and to provide the best possible habitat for their growth and reproduction.
