American Wetlands Month
May is American Wetlands Month, an event sponsored by the Izaak Walton League of America and the Terrene Institute. This year's theme is Bogs, Playas, Pools: Protect America's Unique Wetlands. The amount of wetland acreage in the United States has diminished by at least 50 percent since 1900. Wetlands serve a variety of important ecological functions, not the least of which is to provide critical habitat for the numerous bird species that are dependent on or associated with wetlands.
