Marshes
By Donovan Ricco
Wetlands and Marshes
- Wetlands are habitats that are between land and water.
- We can protect wetlands by not building home and other things around them. We can also protect them by recycling cans and other waste.
- There are two different types of marshes, salt water and fresh water.
- There are many different types of animals that live in Marshes:
1. Great Blue Heron
2. Painted Turtle
3. Muskrat
