WOW the Wonders of Wetlands Educators' Guide and Workshop

The delineation of wetlands depends on three factors: 1) saturated soils, 2) water tolerant plants, and 3) a hydrologic regime (not necessarily wet all year round). The front 67 pages of this guide provide an excellent six part information section about wetlands. 

Workshop topics address the value of wetlands and their ability to

• control floods,
• recharge ground water,
• trap sediment,
• intercept pollution, and
• improve water quality.
