Follow on Google News | Spend A Day in the Salt Marsh…February 2 is World Wetlands Day!While February 14 is all about spreading the love, why not celebrate a little earlier by honoring some of the world’s most dynamic habitats? February 2 is World Wetlands Day – and it’s celebrated in over 95 countries!
By: Lauren Greene Wetlands are found on just about every continent on Earth! These habitats are home to almost 600 species of plants, animals, and insects - such as birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish. Marsh areas are not only excellent viewing areas to watch these species in their natural habitat; wetlands also reduce flooding by storing water that comes from rainfall and runoff! If your family doesn’t live near a marsh area to witness this phenomenon, why not spend A Day in the Salt Marsh – without ever leaving your home? A Day in the Salt Marsh (Sylvan Dell Publishing, 2007) takes readers on a fun-filled day in the wetlands, as they learn about hourly changes within the marsh – brought on by the dynamic nature of the tides. Told in rhyme, this story follows different animals hunting for food and playing in the sun, while they’re adapting to the changes within their habitat. You and your child will learn about the adaptability of different salt marsh creatures, while also learning why marsh grass survives the upsurge of the tides! Additionally, there is a “For Creative Minds” section in the back of the book that offers salt marsh and tidal animal activities, along with important facts on salt marshes and Spartina grass.
