Play, download and edit the free video Wetland Words: Henry David Thoreau, We can never have enough of nature.

Reading by former WWA Board Chair Alice Thompson from Henry David Thoreau's, "Walden."

From the chapter "Spring":

"Our village life would stagnate if it were not for the unexplored forests and meadows which surround it. We need the tonic of wildness—to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground. […] We can never have enough of Nature."

While we isolate in our homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, nature’s cycles continue and so does our shared love of and interest in wetlands—the very characteristics that unite us as a community. We’re all going through this, so let’s help each other get through it together.

To help bring more hope and positivity into the world (and keep talking about wetlands, too!), Wisconsin Wetlands Association is offering special virtual wetland programming to our members, supporters, and the community at large.

One of these offerings is our new #WetlandWords series, and is inspired by the Mary Linton Wetland Poetry Session that happens every year at our Wetland Science Conference.
