Wetlands play a vital role to the ecological, economic and social-wellbeing of communities. Wetlands improve water quality, increase water storage and supply, reduce flood and storm risk and provide a critical habitat for plants, fish and wildlife.
Celebrate the American Wetlands month by:
- Volunteering with a local watershed or conservation group (or start your own if none exist in your area) to protect, restore, and monitor a local wetland or stream area. Check Surf Your Watershed for a watershed group near you.
- Working with a community group, youth group or school to identify a local wetland that could be restored to its natural condition.
- Talking to your local government about steps they are taking to protect and restore wetlands in your area, and encourage action.
- Plant native vegetation in your yard and limit your use of fertilizers and pesticides which can pollute nearby waterways.
