Adriana Hess Wetland Park located at 2917 Morrison Road West in University Place is the home of the outdoor Thelma Gilmur Education Shelter

For many years Dixie Harris has volunteered in this park and currently serves on the Adriana Hess Wetland Park committee.

Along with volunteering Dixie also has a passion for education and Thelma Gilmur, a teacher and long time conservationist, was the inspiration for us to provide the necessary funds to build the shelter.

Our goal was to provide a space to encourage outdoor nature education with emphasis on the theme of "no child left inside".

It is a beautiful native park and we encourage you to take some time to stop by and enjoy what nature has to offer.
