Discover the rich habitats and wildlife that make Huntley Meadows Park one of Fairfax County’s most treasured natural spaces. The park features nationally significant history, sweeping forests, wildflower-filled meadows and expansive wetlands that offer some of the region’s best wildlife viewing.

Celebrate the importance of this premier wetland sanctuary during Wetlands Awareness Day on Sunday, May 3, from noon to 4 p.m. This free event invites visitors to journey into forested paths and immersive boardwalk trails while learning why wetlands matter. Get up-close with live raptors, reptiles, amphibians, wildlife, interactive displays and hands-on activities.

Shuttle service will be available from Groveton Elementary School, 6900 Harrison Lane in Alexandria, to Huntley Meadows Park. Shuttles run every 15 minutes, with the last trip to the park at 3:30 p.m. and the final return shuttle at 4:15 p.m.
