Wetlands are natural treasures, but unfortunately have long been misunderstood and undervalued.

Through the Wetland Treasures of the Carolinas program, Carolina Wetlands Association seeks to increase public awareness and appreciation of wetlands, and to generate community pride in and commitment to stewardship of wetlands that have regional, national and even international importance. We have designated 34 Wetland Treasures.
This year, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the first five Wetland Treasures designated in 2016.
Each May during American Wetlands Month, Carolina Wetlands Association recognizes wetland sites across North Carolina and South Carolina. The long-term goal is to recognize high quality representatives of each of the wetland types found in each ecoregion (Mountains, Piedmont and Coastal Plain) of North and South Carolina . Collectively, Wetland Treasures will represent the wetland heritage of the Carolinas.
