Between Philadelphia and Delaware we have the National Wildlife Refuge John Heinz. It is the largest remaining freshwater wetland in Pennsylvania. On it's past, the wetland was bigger than we an see now. Since World War I, it started to being reduce with the purpose of increasing urbanizations. Wasn't until 1965 that the refuge became a National Natural Landmark.
