It`s #worldwetlandsday today! Although we can get pigeonholed as "river people," we love wetlands just as much. Wetlands naturally filter water, improving habitat for communities downstream. They punch above their weight in biodiversity as well, supporting roughly 40% of all plant and animal species, including almost all carnivorous plants. Wetlands also store more carbon per acre than forests, and people are increasingly understanding them as critical allies in the fight against climate change. From the tidal marshes of the Columbia River Estuary to former cranberry bogs on Cape Cod, here are a few wetlands we`ve worked in over the past year. #WorldWetlandsDay #StreamRestoration #EcologicalRestoration #Wetlands
