Once farmland, Green Island has been transformed into a thriving young floodplain forest where beavers, river otters, and more than 150 bird species now make their home. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful walk, wildlife viewing, photography, or simply time outdoors, this is a special place to experience a living river in action.
