「一隻鳥、二隻鳥、三隻鳥...真酷，我這邊好多鳥喔! 快看那一群人來我這裡做什麼?」
華江人工濕地面積13公頃，位於大漢橋下游右岸的灘地，每日約處理9000噸板橋地區的生活污水，經由初沉池沉澱污物後，污水朝著低莖草澤濕地、埤塘濕地和高莖草澤濕地共構的淨化系統流去，4.7天後，潔淨的水源最後進入 #感潮濕地 ，隨著潮水漲退流入大漢溪。
在濕地漫遊的過程，若想更認識人工濕地，可以到附近華江橋下方的 #大漢溪濕地生態廊道服務中心，那裡有專業的志工老師提供諮詢服務，若是團體還可預約濕地導覽喔!

濕地小教室 - 濕地提供鳥類棲息地的功能
華江人工濕地位在鳥類活動頻繁地帶，也是每年候鳥來臺灣度冬重要棲息地之一，不過鄰近的高灘地河濱公園遊客多，為避免人為干擾並增加鳥類的棲息空間，設置了高莖草澤、低莖草澤、開闊水域以及感潮的灘地，阻隔人為活動的干擾，營造適合鳥類活動的棲地。
根據生態調查的結果顯示華江人工濕地大約有 49 種鳥類 ，常見的陸鳥有 #白頭翁、#褐頭鷦鶯、#粉紅鸚嘴、#斯氏繡眼；水鳥有小鸊鷉、紅冠水雞、磯鷸、大白鷺、小白鷺、翠鳥。 特有亞種有9種，包括金背鳩、南亞夜鷹、大卷尾、樹鵲、褐頭鷦鶯、白頭翁、粉紅鸚嘴、山紅頭與八哥；保育類共有3 種，黑鳶、八哥、紅尾伯勞。 外來種有野鴿、喜鵲、黑領椋鳥、家八哥與白尾八哥、黑頭文鳥(引進種)共 5 種。

【 Sponge Family | Hwajiang Artificial Wetland】
:"One bird, two birds, three birds... That's cool, there are a flock of birds here! Look what those people are doing here? "
HuajiangArtificial Wetland is 6.5 hectares in area, which is located on the right bank downstream of Dahan Bridge. HuajiangArtificial Wetland treats about 9,000 tons of domestic sewage in Banqiao area every day. After sedimentation through the primary settling tank, sewage flows towards the purification system composed of low grass wetlands, pond wetlands and high grass wetlands. After 4 days, the clean water finally enters the #tidal wetlands , and flows into Dahan River as the tide fluctuation.
If you want to know more about artificial wetlands during the walking, you can go to the #DahanRiverWetlandTourismCenter under Huajiang Bridge. There are professional volunteers to provide consulting services. If you are visiting in groups, you can also reserve a wetland tour!
