Wetlands in Wisconsin

Wetlands, like other natural resources, are vital to Wisconsin’s environmental landscape and our outstanding quality of life. An incredibly complex and important ecosystem, wetlands are home to a wide variety of species from microorganisms to plants, fish, amphibians, birds and many other forms of wildlife. In addition to providing a habitat for animals and vegetation, wetlands help prevent erosion and act as filters by removing pollutants from the water and by aiding in nutrient absorption.
