Michigan
Wetlands
Wetlands in Michigan serve as crucial nurseries for fish and wildlife, natural filters for lakes, rivers, and groundwater, and vital reservoirs for floodwater management. These wetlands also offer recreational opportunities for birdwatchers, hikers, hunters, and paddlers, while playing a key role in storing carbon, a significant greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. Let’s work together to safeguard, rejuvenate, and discover the wetland treasures of Michigan.
