According to researchers from four Indiana universities, "isolated wetlands provide ample benefits; they reduce flood impacts, filter out pollutants, protect water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and waterfowl, support outdoor recreation, and store carbon in the landscape."

[TNC in Indiana @Nature_Indiana]

Wetlands are too critical to destroy, but they're once again on the chopping block in Indiana's General Assembly. Read TNC's statement at https://t.co/DdRJ5eQh4D Thanks to @SueinMuncie and @pat4indiana9 for realizing the worth of our wetlands.
