Litchfield Wetland Management District provides a number of great opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The tallgrass prairies and wetlands host a diversity of plant and animal species and make for some great wildlife observation areas as well as other recreational activities. Some of these activities include hunting, fishing, environmental education, and photography.
