Wetlands are everywhere and you might not even realize it! Wetlands are areas of land usually found near waterways that are covered or are very saturated with water seasonally or permanently. Swamps, estuaries, ponds, marshes, and bogs are just a few examples of the many types of environments that fall into this category. These areas vary greatly and so do the plants and animals that live there. Explore how important wetlands are and what we can do to keep them healthy during Wetlands Weekend.
