WETLANDS RESEARCH PROJECT  By Keagan Regner

What is a Wetland?  A wetland is where land and water meet and where almost 300 species of wildlife live for their survival like food, shelter, and water.

BOG – WHAT IS A BOG?  A bog has poor drainage, acidic soil and not many plants grow there. Lots of peat moss can be found there.

BOG VEGETATION  Low shrubs, tamarack and black spruce grow in bogs.

FEN – WHAT IS A FEN?  A fen is one of the four main types of wetlands.  The water found in a fen comes from ground water or surface water.  This water is mineral rich and neutral.

WHAT IS A MARSH?  Marshes can be found at the edges of lakes and streams.  They are often called sloughs.  Cattails, rushes, and sedges grow there.

WHAT IS A POND?  Pond water comes from rain, snow, and groundwater.  The water is usually about two meters deep or less.  It may dry out in late summer.

WHAT IS A SWAMP?  They are forests that are flooded.  They have slow moving water.  They are not common in Alberta.

WETLAND PLANTS  peat moss (sphagnum moss)  black spruce  tamarack tree  water lilies  duck weed

ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN WETLANDS  gray wolf  Beaver  muskrat  Swans  Geese  Duck  Salamander  Mosquitos  Grasshoppers  dragonflies

THE BENEFITS OF WETLANDS  To see lots of wildlife  Gives homes to wildlife  Prevents floods  Good for tourisms  Filters out bad things like toxins
