American Wetlands Month: May 1991. A National Celebration

摘要

The Outreach and State Programs Section of the Wetlands Strategies and StatePrograms Branch in EPA's Wetlands Division has expanded EPA's wetlands role to include wetlands outreach and education and to encourage public/private partnerships for Wetlands protection and preservation. The Outreach and State Programs Section initiated the idea of May 1991 as American Wetlands Month to increase the public's awareness of wetlands values and functions and to encourage people to become more involved in wetlands protection efforts nationally as well as locally. This document describes American Wetlands Month, the importance of generating public interest in Wetland protection, and the EPA and other organizations' roles in the program.
