Wetlands As Community Assets

Date/Time: Saturday, October 2, 2021 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Location: Osage Park (700 SW 16th St., Bentonville, AR 72712)

Program Description: Once thought of as wastelands with no practical use or benefit to society, our understanding of the importance and value of wetlands has made significant advances in recent decades. Previously drained for farming or urban development, many municipalities are now seeing the benefits of leaving wetlands undisturbed, and even in constructing new wetlands in and around their metropolitan areas. 

From flood and erosion control, to improving water quality and providing habitat for wildlife, Eric Fuselier, PWS will discuss the ecosystem services provided by wetlands, and why their preservation and restoration are important goals to consider as our region continues to grow and develop.
