WHY WETLANDS LIKE THIS ARE IMPORTANT!

This is the approach to a wetland which helps us in many ways including reducing the risk of flooding after extreme weather events including the spring run off we’ve been experiencing over the last couple of days; reducing the risk of drought in hot summers because it stores excess water; captures and stores carbon in the atmosphere, which helps mitigate the effects of climate change; as well as providing a home for many species of animals and plants. Where else but Elizabeth Lake on the southern approach to Cranbrook?
