Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge wildlife biologist, Wendy Stanton, describes the wetlands and amazing wildlife at Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. She also describes what she does for her job and how the refuge staff manage the habitat for wildlife. She discusses the challenges of removing invasive species so that native plants can provide food for the animals. The video also mentions the declining water quality in the lake and possible causes for it. Visitors are encouraged to visit to enjoy the wildlife, but also pick up trash, clean boats to prevent spread of unwanted plants, and attend public meetings to improve the lake.
