Greetings Wetland Supporters: There are two things on my mind at the moment. One is that with the pandemic seemingly in recession, events are rapidly increasing and our two funded projects are going strong. The Volunteer Wetlands Monitoring Program, funded by the EPA, has had its first round of sampling completed and the Stony Run Project, funded by the NC Land and Water Fund, has consisted of delineations, collecting GPS points, and determining where to collect water samples and install monitoring wells. Outreach events have increased with three events this month, the NC Carnival to Combat Climate Change at Pine Knoll Shores, Earth Day at Apex, NC, and The Coastal Climate Science and Engineering Expo at the NC Battleship in Wilmington. We are always in need of volunteers to help out with these events so please contact me if you are interested. Expanding our supporter base and spreading the word about wetland value is critical to the success of Carolina Wetlands Association. The second thing on my mind is Earth Day itself and the role wetlands play in the celebrations. As you attend various Earth Day celebrations, help inform people about wetland value and how Carolina Wetlands Association advocates for wetlands. The point is to make wetland value an important part of our Earth Day celebrations. We still need to inform people how wetlands can mitigate flooding, help fight climate change by storing carbon, improve water quality, stabilize our shorelines, protect our fish breeding waters, provide recreation, and offer educational opportunities. So, be sure to consider volunteering for some of our events and projects and promote wetlands at every opportunity you have, with Earth Day just being one of those opportunities. Thanks so much for your support, Rick Savage Executive Director

In 2020, Jennings Environmental worked with Conserving Carolina, North State Environmental, and several other partners to complete the Mud Creek Floodplain Restoration project in Henderson County, NC. The goals of the project included restoring wetland functions on the floodplain, improving water quality, increasing water retention to mitigate flood impacts downstream, and enhancing habitats for vegetation and animals.
