Celebrate American Wetlands Month!
Author Last Post

May is American Wetlands Month, a time to celebrate one of nature’s most productive ecosystems! Wetlands enrich the environment and our lives by providing habitat for fish, wildlife and plants, recharging groundwater, mitigating natural disasters, providing clean drinking water, offering food and fiber, and supporting cultural and recreational activities.



Unfortunately, wetlands face numerous challenges, such as climate change, sea level rise, and species declines, as well as drainage, fill and excavation. These factors drive the need for wetland conservation and restoration.


Learn more about the different types of wetlands and what you can do to conserve them at https://fws.gov/home/feature/2021/Wetland/, which is the source of the photo shown below.
