Wetlands - Rich With Life
Ducks Unlimited Preserves Wildlife by Restoring Pennsylvania's Wetlands

Ann Arbor, MI-February 16, 2004 - Pennsylvania has lost nearly 56 percent of its historical wetlands. An estimated 677,986 acres have been drained and filled for agricultural conversion or industrial and urban development. Many of the state's remaining wetlands are seriously degraded and under continual threat. To reverse this trend, Ducks Unlimited (DU), its Pennsylvania partners and private landowners have cooperated to conserve over 40,000 acres of wetlands and associated habitats since 1985. "The effects of losing Pennsylvania's precious wetlands not only impact waterfowl, but many other wildlife species, such as the bog turtle, green salamander, osprey, and white-tailed deer. Wetlands also benefit people by improving water quality, retaining floodwater and providing recreational opportunities," states Ducks Unlimited Biologist, Scott Reinhart.

Within Berks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, DU and its partners have restored, enhanced and protected 11,495 acres of wetlands and associated uplands. These projects are now home to populations of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates, many of which are threatened and endangered. They also provide educational and recreational opportunities for residents living in Philadelphia, and surrounding counties. "DU is in the process of planning and working on several exciting projects that will enhance wildlife habitat in the local area and throughout the state," says Reinhart.
