Moments like these are what make places like Jones Pier Conservation Area so special. A simple day spent fishing becomes an opportunity for families to connect, memories to be made, and traditions to be passed down to the next generation.

Projects like this are about more than just creating access to nature — they’re about creating spaces where our community can come together, where children can learn about the rich history and environment that make this area unique, and where the beauty of the outdoors can be appreciated for years to come. Thank you to the community member who shared this incredible moment with us.

If you'd like to experience this amazing site for yourself, come pay us a visit on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 10-1pm. A dedicated staff member will be able to provide a tour of the wetlands, and our newly opened Interpretive Center!
