I noticed mosquitoes in and around the wetland areas of Fairview Park. Are the wetlands the cause of those mosquitoes?

No. Fairview Park is a passive park governed by a master plan that is closely adhered to by city officials. In 2013, the city completed a major wetland restoration project that included six acres of wetland ponds, five acres of native grasslands, three acres of oak trees, nine acres of coastal sage scrub and 8,700 shrubs planted. The result has been a new wetland habitat that includes several species of animals, birds and plants. A recent study by county officials determined that the wetlands is not contributing to an increase in mosquitoes to the neighboring communities.
