Dive into the beautiful East Side of the Rio Grande Watershed, covering downtown Ysleta, Socorro, and Clint, to learn about the crucial role of wetlands. These areas, where soil is often submerged, act as natural filters and provide vital habitats for diverse wildlife. Even seemingly dry wetlands support species adapted to these unique environments, like the Roseate Skimmer dragonfly. Join us in our activity to create a digital representation of this essential ecosystem and its inhabitants, highlighting the importance of wetland restoration and wildlife conservation.

Wetlands in the Rio Grande Watershed Wetlands: areas where water covers the soil most of the year or for short periods of the year. • Restoring wetlands helps the watershed by acting as a filter (like the terrarium). • A wetland providesa home for wildlife. • Wetlands that look dry most of the year still give wildlife a home. • Some wildlife animals are adapted to breeding onlyin these areas.
