Forested Wetlands

Wetlands are exactly as they sound, wet land. They include many different types of ecosystems that have wet soil for some or all the year; they are incredibly important hotspots for many species of birds, bugs, mammals, fungi and lichen. Our work at MTRI focuses on forested wetlands, an ecosystem dominated with trees; often called a swamp. We lead the forested wetlands target for the Kespukwitk Conservation Collaborative and work with Nova Scotia Environment to improve the wetland of special significance.
