Wetland Committee
Committee Mission:
Our Lynnhaven River NOW Wetland Committee’s mission is to conserve, restore and create open water marsh, small marsh parcels along the shoreline & also living shoreline marshes in the Lynnhaven River. Education is one of our major strategies to encourage wetland conservation, restoration, and creation, thus we will plan and conduct broad and targeted education. We also aim to work with the agencies having jurisdiction over tidal wetlands to facilitate and encourage wetland preservation, restoration and creation.
List of Projects:
- Citizen wetlands workshop
- Wetlands in the Classroom
- LR NOW Shoreline Publication
