DUCKS UNLIMITED
and there are many others, reason being wetlands are important and continue to need protection. Other activities in this Padlet will help you to better understand why.

Ducks Unlimited has been working hard for 80 years to save Canada’s wetlands.

The sloughs, ponds, marshes and bogs play a critical role in maintaining the health of our environment, our economy and our lifestyle.
Wetlands are one of the most important ecosystems on the planet, but up to 70 per cent of wetlands have been lost in settled areas of Canada. More are lost every day.

WHAT'S A WETLAND - WELL ITS SIMPLY A WET PARCEL OF LAND 4 DIFFERENT TYPES: c0576731 https://padlet.com/c0576731/dcgp8l1cze4k/wish/336109264 There are four (4) main kinds of wetlands – marsh, swamp, bog and fen (bogs and fens being types of mires). Some experts also recognize wet meadows and aquatic ecosystems as additional wetland types. 

Surface water comes from streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, and oceans. Hydric Soils: Wetland soils are different then the soils found in dry lands. Wetland soils are called hyrdric soils because the spaces between each grain of soil is filled with water. Wetland soils are anaerobic.

You wouldn't be recommended to go swimming in any of these 4 wetland areas, but dogs don't know that!]]> 2019-02-27 19:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/c0576731/dcgp8l1cze4k/wish/336109264 #3.)

Wetlands have a long history of being seen as wastelands. Places to be avoided. Places to be filled or drained.

My swamp probably survived because it was too difficult to drain. It’s part of a much larger swamp, and the land is not well suited for crops. This wetland is fortunate because, here in Canada and around the world, most wetlands are in trouble.
