This wetland at the base of the Weir Meadow hillside is a bio-swale. It collects rainwater runoff from the hill, filtering and purifying it as it drains into Fresh Pond. The area has been seeded with native wildflowers such as Joe-Pye Weed, New England Asters, and several Goldenrod species; and planted with native shrubs and trees including Bayberry, Sweet Pepperbush, River Birch, and Swamp White Oak.

Over the course of the summer, a colorful display of wildflowers will unfold. Many birds and other small animals visit or live in this area.
