Project proposals:
1. Identify a photo that shows each type of wetland landscape. See Wetland Landscape key.
2. Select an image. Choose a species covered in this ecostudy unit or that is native to your community. Evaluate the habitat shown in the photo. Would it be a good home for the species? Explain. How might it be changed to improve it for the organism you are considering?
3. Select an image. Which species of plants and animals would you anticipate finding there?
