PUBLIC
OUTREACH
Persons may choose to become involved in wetlands protection by
influencing the attitudes and understandings of others about wetlands.
One way they may do this is by keeping abreast of local wetland
issues and becoming vocal in their community by speaking for the
protection of these resources at appropriate venues. They may also
give informative talks or presentations such as the one prepared
in the attached materials. Professional educators may choose to
improve the understanding future generations have of wetlands by
taking advantage of programs available through workshops sponsored
by IDNR, such as Project WET, Project WILD-Aquatic, or the State
Museum's An Interdisciplinary Study of Illinois Wetlands Kit which
contain curriculum and activity materials that focus on wetland
habitats. Additional wetlands information may also be obtained through
the USEPA nationwide wetlands hotline (1-800-832-7828).
