From the latest DEC Newsletter: National Wetlands Month has been celebrated since 1991 to bring awareness to these vital ecosystems.
Wetlands are highly productive in biodiversity and provide beautiful areas for public enjoyment. DEC protects wetlands through the Tidal Wetlands and Freshwater Wetlands Acts, except for wetlands within the Adirondack Park where the Adirondack Park Agency protects the wetlands.
