Wildlife Garden at Moorhen Marsh

3800 Arthur Rd, Martinez, CA 94553, USA

The Mt. View Sanitary District Native Gardens showcase how public utility lands can provide exceptional habitat for pollinators and wildlife. Surrounding restored marshes, these California native gardens support monarch butterflies with abundant narrowleaf and showy milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis and A. speciosa), along with a rich diversity of nectar plants, including Helenium puberulum. The site is also home to numerous birds, the endangered Western Pond Turtle, and other native wildlife. Maintained by dedicated volunteers, the gardens offer visitors an inspiring example of how native plants can restore ecosystems while creating beautiful places for people to explore and learn.
