INVISTA celebrates 25th anniversary of the wetland in Victoria, TX

© 2023 Invista
On November 4th INVISTA Victoria hosted a community celebration to commemorate 25 years of INVISTA’s wetland project, which has been an ongoing demonstration of the site’s commitment to environmental stewardship and dedication to the community.

Event attendees participated in hands-on educational activities and tours of the wetland led by John Snyder, the Victoria Independent School District (VISD) environmental science specialist who’s been teaching environmental science at the wetland education center since 1998 through INVISTA’s longstanding partnership with VISD.

Home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, the 53-acre constructed wetland was created to help restore and protect the natural ecosystem of the area.  It is the primary water source linked to INVISTA’s advanced above-ground biological treatment system and provides an additional natural water-polishing step to the sites’ surface water before it enters the Guadalupe River.




“We are honored to celebrate the wetland’s milestone anniversary with the community,” said Adam Remlinger, INVISTA Victoria site manager. “Over the years, the INVISTA Wetland has been an important part of our site and has provided a unique learning environment for area students. INVISTA remains committed to environmental stewardship and looks forward to continuing to work with the community to preserve this natural resource.”

The wetland provides a unique, hands-on learning environment for students to learn about wildlife and water conservation. To date, the environmental science education center has served as a STEM resource for more than 82,000 students and teachers across the community.
