Conserving Wetlands
The goal of the
Protect Our Wetlands program is to
educate Americans about wetland ecology,
functions and values and to provide communities
with the tools they need to conserve these
valuable ecosystems. Protect Our Wetlands works
through several projects to increase awareness
of wetland issues and to train citizens in
wetland conservation activities. These projects
include: hands-on workshops, television
programs and Webcasts, easy-to-read educational
materials, and technical and networking
assistance.
Whether you are
interested in protecting wetlands in your
community, incorporating wetland studies in
your classroom curriculum, advocating for
wetlands conservation, or simply participating
in local wetland activities, the Protect Our
Wetlands program can help you gain the
information and skills you need to get
involved. To get started, just click on any of
