AESTHETICS
AND RECREATION
Wetlands are beautiful and offer visitors seclusion and tranquility. They
provide observers a vast array of plant and animal life to identify and
enjoy. They also offer various consumptive and non-consumptive recreational
opportunities such as: hunting, fishing, boating, swimming, and wildlife
photography. Each of these uses is based in the overall ecology of the
wetlands (Illinois Department of Natural Resources 1997).
