The Rain Campaign

May is American Wetlands Month! Think of urban and agricultural wetlands as a watershed's "kidneys", flushing out pollutants and controlling flooding as water makes its way into a lake, river, or creek. Wetland also provide valuable habitat to migrating birds, as well as fish, reptiles, amphibians, and insects.
