Students learn what a "wetland" is, how to recognize different kinds of wetlands, what lives in wetlands, & the many important functions wetlands have. A short indoor slide show introduces students to these fascinating ecosystems that once covered most of northern Indiana. The rest of the time is spent outdoors wading in a marsh, discovering some of the plants & animals living there.
