Wetlands can be an important part of a nutrient reduction strategy to improve water quality. However, wetlands can look and function differently depending on how they are constructed, where they are located, and the water quality goals a community wants to address.

The All Ohio Chapter of the Soil and Water Conservation Society hosts the following 3-part webinar series introducing you to leading wetland experts and practitioners to learn and discuss ways in which wetlands can work for you:
