Fall and Spring are the times to visit the Gilbert Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch. Located on 110 acres right in the city of Gilbert, Arizona at the corner of Guadalupe and Greenfield Roads, the Riparian Institute hosts a variety of activities from a dinosaur dig to telescope observatory. There are several large lakes that host a huge assortment of migratory birds and some permanent residents.
The Preserve is right next to the Southeast Regional Library of the Maricopa County Library System and convenient to many local businesses as well as a huge suburban population. The photo above shows a Desert Broom in full bloom with the seeds spreading like snow (whatever that is). If you live somewhere else, you can get the same effect from cattails.
