Wetland Gem Regional Launch Event
Held at the North Lakeland Discovery Center (afternoon)
Wetland Gems are high quality habitats that represent the wetland riches - marshes,
swamps, bogs, fens and more - that historically made up a nearly 1/4 of Wisconsin's
landscape. Critically important to Wisconsin's biodiversity, these natural treasures
also provide our communities with valuable functions and services as well ecreational
and educational opportunities. They are landscapes that both preserve the past and
inspire for the future.
Beginning in May, 2009, Wisconsin Wetlands Association will work with partners to host a
series of events around the state to publicly announce its selection of 100 Wetland Gems
in the state. For more information about the Wetland Gems Program, visit
www.wisconsinwetlands.org/gems.htm For information about the launch event at the
