<br />Exhibit 1 <br /> <br />Establish a wetland neighborhood. <br /> <br />WHY? By the nature of water flow, wetlands and buffers are integrally connected to all parts of the <br />landscape. Water and ecology within wetlands is linked directly to all areas within and surrounding areas of <br />wetlands. Many wildlife species are dependent on these natural corridors. Stresses in one part of a wetland, <br />such as vegetation clearing, erosion or nutrient loading, can impact a wetland as a whole. <br /> <br />DO <br /> <br />. Link-up with wetland owners all along your wetland area. <br />. Get involved with environmental groups and park agencies that have wetland properties. <br />. Create a sense of neighborhood that will help protect the wetland. <br />. Participate in clean-up activities in your neighborhood. <br />. Write or call your elected representatives to inform them about your concerns and encourage <br />legislation to protect water resources. <br />. Get involved in local planning and zoning decisions and encourage your local officials to develop <br />erosion and sediment control ordinances. <br />. Promote environmental education. Help educate people in your community about ways in which they <br />can help protect water quality. Get your community groups involved. <br />
