Understanding Michigan Wetlands

Wetlands may look like quiet swamps or marshy fields, but they're some of Michigan's most vital ecosystems - naturally managing floods, filtering water, supporting wildlife, and sustaining our Great Lakes. Understanding and protecting these hidden landscapes is essential for our environment, economy, and future.

The Southwest Michigan Planning Commission, Two Rivers Coalition, and the Berrien County Drain Commissioner collaborate to create environmental and water education initiatives to engage the community.
