Zeita swamp nature reserve

The 47-dunam Zeita Swamp Nature Reserve contains water pools, sand dunes, and orchards where diverse wildlife species find their natural habitat.

The establishment of Zeita Swamp Nature Reserve in 1984 marked the protection of a remaining section of wetlands that previously covered larger areas of Hadera.

The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about wetland ecosystems and environmental conservation through organized activities and observations.

Access to the reserve begins at Shakmonah Street, with internal pathways leading through vegetation, requiring appropriate footwear and preferably a 4x4 vehicle during wet seasons.

The combination of sand dunes and water pools creates specific conditions where waterfowl, mongooses, and numerous bird species coexist in this compact ecosystem.
