Is that a pond or a wetland -- and why the correct name matters

Join INRC's Assistant Director Kay Stefanik at the Iowa State Fair, August 14, at 11:00 a.m., where she will be giving a talk  Is that a pond or a wetland? How to tell ponds and wetlands apart and why the correct name matters.

Stefanik will also be visiting with fairgoers who stop by the Marsh Madness trailer (Conservation Station) at the outdoor courtyard for the Department of Natural Resources building that morning. People are invited to stop by to view three wetland models (water quality enhancement wetland, prairie pothole wetland and an oxbow wetland) and talk about conservation, wetlands and water quality.
