Celebrating Wetlands Month
FACTOID: It is estimated that Kansas in the 1780’s had 841,000
acres of wetlands and that in 1980 more than 40 percent had been lost or 435,400
acres of wetlands remained.

May is the month we recognize and celebrate the wonderful ways wetlands
enrich the environment and people. It is a time to give back to the
environment by learning more about wetlands. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service is proud to partner with other Federal, State and local
agencies across the country to educate, involve and engage Americans who want to
better understand the value of one of Earth's most important ecosystems.
This year's theme is "It Pays to Save Wetlands."
For more information on wetlands and wetlands month, see the following
websites and Kansas news articles.
