What is a Wetland?

According to the dictionary, a wetland is a low area where the land is saturated with water, like a bog or a marsh.

But they are more than just wet ground. Wetlands are also some of the most diverse habitats, with both aquatic and land plants and animals. They can be quite beautiful and interesting to explore.

However, finding a wetland may not be as easy as you think. According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, “Wetlands are not always obvious. Wisconsin has more than a dozen different types and some may be dry for most or all of the year.”
