Greetings Wetland Supporters: I had the privilege of attending the North Carolina Coastal Conference in New Bern, NC last week with 300 other attendees. I gave a presentation about the work of the Carolina Wetlands Association. I started with polling the audience and I was surprised to learn that only about one-third of the audience had ever heard of the organization. The audience was engaged and asked good questions about our wetland monitoring program and our work with vulnerable communities to explore ways to mitigate their flooding issues. I had several people talk to me after the session and during breaks. It was great to see a lot of interest in participating in our work. I suspect that many of you are getting ready for the holiday season. Please remember Carolina Wetlands in your end-of-year giving plans. With a reduction in federal wetland protection, we need your support to help us work on education and research program to advocate for the importance of preserving and restoring wetland ecosystems across the Carolinas. This work is truly only funded by donations from our supporters, so please be generous this giving season and remember our wetlands depend on you. Have a great holiday season and light up a wetland, Rick Savage, Executive Director rick.savage@carolinawetlands.org
