What is a wetland?
A wetland is just what its name says that it is: an area of
land that is wet. Wetlands are sometimes called by other
names, such as swamp, bog, marsh, or fen. Often, wetlands are areas
between dry land and deeper water.

Sometimes wetlands are not obviously wet places. They may be located
in forested areas or fields, and only hold water during certain times
of the year. In fact, you may even find wetland areas on your
schoolyard or in your neighborhood!
