May is American Wetlands Month! Did you know? Texas is home to an impressive 3.9 million acres of wetlands, making it the state with the 5th largest wetland acreage in the US. These precious natural habitats offer numerous benefits for all Texans: •Wetlands serve as natural water filters, purifying water by removing pollutants and sediments, which helps maintain clean and safe water sources for everyone. •They help control water flow by absorbing excess water during heavy rainfall, thereby reducing the risk of flooding in nearby areas. •Wetlands provide essential habitats for diverse plant and animal species, including many rare or endangered ones. By caring for our wetlands, we invest in a sustainable future for Texas and beyond. Learn more about how you can contribute to protecting our wetlands: https://lnkd.in/gM29CSed 💧🌾
