CIC was just the start for EWA, which now works on 60 hazardous waste sites throughout central New Jersey. Many of these sites impact human health and the environment, some are examples of environmental justice and others have potential as Brownfields-to-Greenfields projects. EWA still works on wildlife conservation land preservation issues. In 2000, we purchased the Triple C Ranch and Nature Center, the last remaining farm in Edison, located in the heart of the Dismal Swamp Conservation Area. This outdoor classroom and nature preserve offers exciting environmental education programs for children and community groups.

USINFO Publications CONTENTS Introduction Why Biodiversity Matters Appreciating the Benefits of Plant Biodiversity Bibliography IN FOCUS Coral Reefs Forests Wetlands Northlands WETLANDS: CRADLE OF SPECIES DIVERSITY Wetlands marshy areas of land where the soil is saturated with water are crucial incubators of species diversity, as important as tropical rain forests and coral reefs. They exist on all continents, save Antarctica, and include salty coastal flats, such as estuaries, and inland systems. Scientists classify wetlands into bogs, swamps, marshes, and other types, depending on geography, soil, and plant life. Wetlands help filter pollutants and soil runoff from upstream sources, which helps keep rivers, bays, and oceans downstream clean. In this way, healthy wetlands help mitigate the negative effects that human and farm waste, and some byproducts of industrial pollution, have on our Nation's water. Wetlands help control inland flooding and forestall wave erosion along shorelines; they diminish drought damage. Coastal wetlands protect spawning and feeding grounds for valuable fish and shellfish. Mink, otter, and other mammal species thrive in North American wetlands, as do myriad plants and insects, amphibians, and reptiles. They are vital nesting grounds for birds. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), wetlands are essential to the survival of about a third of the endangered animal and plant species in the United States, and about half of these species make use of wetlands at some point in their life.

Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Wisconsin Wetlands From the sedge meadows of southern Wisconsin to the spruce bogs in the north, wetlands cover a wide array of landscapes. They share in common the ability to support aquatic or "water loving" plants, and provide habitat for more species of plants and animals than any other type of landscape in Wisconsin. A shallow water marsh near Solon Springs. Habitat is not their only functional value . Wetlands can also store water to prevent flooding, purify water, protect lake and stream shores from eroding and provide recreational opportunities for wildlife watchers, anglers, hunters, and boaters. But Wisconsin only has about half of the 10 million acres that were present in 1848 due to farm drainage and filling for development and roads. Laws have slowed their loss, but wetlands continue to be destroyed and degraded. Invasive plants , like purple loosestrife and reed canary grass, are crowding out native plants and harming habitat. Overuse of groundwater and increasing stormwater from development starves or drowns wetlands plants.

Home Wetlands Easements Water Management ... Publications / Reports Local Government Units and Partner Agencies Wetland Regulation in Minnesota What is a wetland? When most people think of wetlands, they think of swampy, marshy areas complete with ducks and cattails. While those areas are indeed wetlands, many other wetlands look quite different and may even have no surface water for all or part of the year. Some wetlands support trees and shrubs; some are farmed. Technically, a wetland must meet three criteria: It must have mostly hydric soils; It must have standing water or saturated soil for at least part of the growing season; and It must support mostly vegetation adapted to wet soil conditions Why are wetlands important? Wetlands were once considered wasted space, a hindrance to urban development and crop production. In Minnesota, an estimated 11 million acres of wetlands have been drained or filled over the last hundred years, leaving about 10 million acres. While this represents a 50 percent loss statewide, some areas of Minnesota have lost more than 90 percent of their original wetlands. Wetlands reduce flooding by slowing excess water runoff during times of heavy rainfall.
