Wetlands perform valuable ecosystem services, but their protections have recently been weakened in a Supreme Court decision. Join us as we learn about the incredible capacity of wetlands to intercept and treat nutrient-rich runoff with Dr. Maria Lemke of The Nature Conservancy. Izaak Walton League Conservation Director, Jared Mott, will give us an update on wetland protections following the recent Sackett v. EPA ruling.
