Lori BaxterThis website focuses on the biome of wetlands. It summarizes the difference between freshwater and saltwater wetlands. It also discusses the importance of wetlands and why they are in danger. There are pictures and information about the animals that can be found in wetlands and a great section on swamps. This is a great website to use with elementary aged students.

Muskrats are central to many marshes, keeping aggressive plants in check and crafting bird protection by carving out habitat. Minks and otters frequent wetlands. Raccoons, opossums, even moose can be found foraging around marshes, particularly when water levels drop. Marshes also host frogs, turtles, and snakes, salamanders, and an immense variety of insects, including aquatic, flying, and grazing insects.
