We are rolling out another wetland inspired book recommendation series this time in collaboration with Aquatic Conservation Initiative. ![]()
![]()
Wetlands are an everyday part of our lives. Often quietly present, sometimes right under our noses. They appear in guides, novels, and stories, both directly and indirectly. To celebrate these vital ecosystems, we came together to highlight some guides and novels that have taught us about wetlands, made us think about their importance, or were set in these unique landscapes.![]()
![]()
The connections aren’t always obvious, but the impact is real. We’ve put together a list of some of our favorite wetland themed or referenced guides and novels, hoping to inspire you to notice the small things that hold great value.![]()

📚Have you read a novel or guide with a wetland theme or reference? Share it in the comments! Your recommendation could be featured as a “Wetland Fan Pick” in our next lineup.![]()

Thank you to Wildlife Habitat Canada for supporting Nature NL’s Activities! Wildlife Habitat Canada (WHC) is a non-profit organization that conserves wildlife habitat by making investments in conservation. In 2020, WHC introduced the Community Conservation Action Program (CCAP) as a pilot, to help smaller organizations access the funding that they need to make a difference in conservation within their community. This program supports WHC’s commitment to find innovative projects that get Canadians outdoors, connecting with nature!![]()
