Sombrero Marsh is one of a handful of naturally formed saline wetlands located along the Front Range of Colorado. The wetland, which is fed primarily by groundwater, provides important habitat to migrating waterfowl and is listed as an environmental preservation area by Boulder County. In 2001 the city of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) restored the wetland, which had previously been used as a dumpsite, and the Boulder Valley School District built the Environmental Education Center pictured at right.
