Wetlands provide valuable resources to communities! They help clean our water, protect us from storms and flooding, offer recreational opportunities, like fishing, boating, and bird watching, and provide homes to a wide variety of plants and animals. Teaching others about these valuable resources helps to conserve them for future generations.
