Public recognition of wetland values begins with education. Our goal is to offer the opportunity to people of all ages to become better acquainted with wetland values, and to encourage them to work as advocates for the preservation of wetlands wherever they may live. To this end, we offer you a list of additional reference sites.

The United States Fish & Wildlife Service, and its parent Agency, the Department of Interior, not only have responsibility for wildlife on refuges, but also for endangered species. Find out more about these important topics, and find out how YOU can help! http://www.fws.gov/kids/
