Abstract / Description
The Utah State Office of Education recently recognized the importance of wetlands by including the
study of wetlands in the 4th grade Science Core requirements. With this inclusion, the Utah Division of
Wildlife Resources (UDWR) recognized a niche it could fill educating 4th grade teachers about wetlands, and
encouraging them to take their students out to visit a wetland. Being a natural resources agency, the UDWR
strongly feels that bringing children into a wetland is the best way for them to learn about and experience
this special ecosystem. This activity guide has been produced to assist teachers in this endeavor.
