We love wetlands!

Wetlands are great for wildlife, clean water and recreation!

Since 2014, Delaware has enhanced 70 acres of wetlands, contributing to the watershed-wide total of 61,163 acres. Additionally, Delaware has created or restored 491 acres of wetlands, contributing to the watershed-wide total of 4,862 acres.
