Tennessee’s wetlands play an important role in disaster restoration. When a wetland is restored, it can help reduce the impact of floods and provide habitat for wildlife.
Wetlands are natural areas that are saturated with water, either permanently or seasonally. They can be found in many different types of environments, including marshes, swamps, and bogs.
Wetlands are important for many reasons. They help to control flooding by absorbing excess water and they provide habitat for many different types of plants and animals. Wetlands also help to improve water quality by filtering out pollutants.
Restoring a wetland can be a complex and expensive process. However, it is important to restore wetlands that have been lost or degraded. When a wetland is restored, it can provide many benefits to the environment and the community.
