Students Visit Wetland

Canaport LNG and Ducks Unlimited teaming up for Project Webfoot, which teaches grade 4 students about the importance of wetlands.

Erin Heeney with Ducks Unlimited tells CHSJ News it's important to teach students the important role wetlands play in their own backyard as they can prevent flooding and host various ecosystems.

She says the city has an abundance of wetlands, salt marshes, and ecosystems which everyone should be proud of and not take for granted.
