If it's wet, leave it wild!

Don't get us wrong, we love Groundhogs too, but here at CWC we're also celebrating World Wetlands Day!
💧🌎💧
Wetlands are transitional landscapes where the flow of water, the cycling of nutrients, and the energy of the sun meet to create a unique ecosystem. These natural water filters are home to thousands of plants and animals.
🌱🐸🦅🐟🐌🌿🦆🐝🌲🦋🐢
Did you know in the United States wetlands can be found in every county and climatic zone and fall into four general categories?

🔵Marshes – May be sea, brackish, or freshwater, mostly soft-stemmed plants
🔵Swamps – May be sea, brackish, or freshwater, mostly woody plants
🔵Bogs – freshwater, spongy peat deposits, evergreens, carpet of sphagnum moss
🔵Fens – freshwater, peat-forming wetlands, grasses, sedges, reeds, wildflowers

Thank you for celebrating wetlands every day by supporting our conservation efforts. 🩵💙🩵
