Today is #worldwetlandsday! Now more than ever it’s critically important that we preserve our wetlands, so that animals like this green heron have a safe sanctuary and clean drinking water. The Clean Water Act protects the small streams and wetlands that capture floodwaters, absorb pollution, and serve as a refuge for trout and other sensitive species. Let’s fight to protect wetlands together! . . .
