Wetlands Improve the Quality of Life in Your Community

Wisconsin residents like to hunt, fish, paddle, bird watch, and connect with nature close to where they live. Children especially delight in being able to catch frogs, chase dragonflies, and get muddy in the wetlands in their backyards. School, youth, and community groups benefit from the use of local wetlands as living classrooms where students can enjoy an active learning experience. An abundance of protected landscapes also helps businesses attract and retain employees, and can make your community an attractive destination for tourists.
