Wetlands are a valuable component of our arid landscape for many reasons. They are an important aspect of the hydrology, storing water through the drier parts of the year, minimizing flood impacts, and supporting vegetation essential to both wildlife and livestock.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the El Paso areas, we are fortunate to have two desert wetlands: The Rio Bosque and Keystone. Keystone Heritage Park, Wetlands \u00a0is 58 acres and is A Bi-national Desert Wetland Upper Valley in the historic Rio Grande floodplain . The spring-fed wetland is home to over 250 species of birds, including 22 species of rare birds. The wetland is also site to an archaic archaeological site, dating to over 4000 years old.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
