Celebrating a Decade of Conservation

Join Our 10-Year Anniversary Celebration!

We are incredibly proud of all we’ve accomplished together over the last decade, and we can’t wait to celebrate this anniversary with the entire Carolina wetlands community. From advocating for critical policies to advancing wetland science and engaging thousands of volunteers and supporters, our work is only possible because of your dedication.


10 Years of Impact: Our Guiding Mission

Since the beginning, Carolina Wetlands Association has been driven by a set of core principles that guide our work across four key program areas:

  • Outreach: Promoting widespread understanding of and engagement in wetlands.
  • Advocacy: Encouraging policies and programs that promote wetland conservation and protection.
  • Science: Encouraging the advancement of wetland science and practices.
  • Sustainability: Ensuring a viable organization for the long term to protect, promote, and restore wetlands.

Whether it’s protecting our saltmarshes as nature’s climate protectors (a topic we explore in depth in our recent white paper) or coordinating hundreds of volunteers to monitor wetlands, our commitment remains the same: protecting and preserving the vital wetlands of the Carolinas.
