Huckleberry Swamp was created by the Olga Fleisher Ornithological Foundation, a private, non-profit organization founded in 1979 for the preservation of habitat for birds and other wildlife. Their mission is to protect vulnerable wetlands, teach wildlife and conservation education and to facilitate ecological research.

The boardwalk is open at no charge to the public from April to October, Tuesday through Sunday, dawn to dusk.
