Today is the FINAL DAY to order from our spring pop-up shop! Order before midnight, and show off your love for wetlands with your new Wisconsin Wetlands Association gear.

Highlights from the shop include a WWA logo sun shirt, a new zip-up fleece hoodie, water bottles, 100% cotton tees, a cross-body bag, and more.

Most clothing items are available in both men’s and ladies’ styles (several are only available in unisex, and the hooded sun shirt is only available in men’s sizing). Orders will be processed after May 20. We produce items on demand (just what we need to fill orders). Items are usually ready for shipping 3-4 weeks after the pop-up shop closes. You can choose to pick up your items from our downtown Madison office or have them shipped to you for a small fee.

A portion of the proceeds from this pop-up will benefit Wisconsin Wetlands Association—but the biggest benefit will be helping spread awareness of Wisconsin Wetlands Association wherever you wear your new gear.

Wisconsin Wetlands Association merchandise is available now for American Wetlands Month!
