Perform a wetlands wildlife habitat inventory by conducting surveys in aural and visual identification of birds with volunteers who have good general skills in bird identification. Maintain a wetlands library containing books, journal articles, proceedings and videos. Should be a section of general library. Sponsor an Adopt a Wetland program by encouraging citizens to monitor and promote local wetlands. State or local resource agency should provide training and follow-up.
Showcase wetlands by providing community field trips, including canoeing, wading and traversing.
Begin an exploration of areas in your watershed that might be good candidates for wetlands restoration. Or support an ongoing restoration project like the one now being conducted in Everett, Washington. Catch the sound of frogs and look for waterfowl. Check with local agencies to see if your wetland is home to any endangered species. Call your local state or federal agency for more information about the wetlands in your area.
