Mike Walter's Wetlands PageThe Old Muskrat's Annotated Links to Useful Wetlands Sites
Click on the picture for a closer look.
The forested wetland pictured above no longer exists. It was bulldozed in 1991 to dig a stormwater retention basin for a Wal-Mart in Auburn, Indiana. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave permission under the "Nationwide 26" wetlands destruction program. The engineer who designed the project said it would "enhance" the wetlands. So, what was once a highly complex red-maple swamp became a four-acre hole. The deep, black humic layer built up through centuries of leaf-litter that was home to myriad tiny creatures was churned up and scraped off. The little creatures themselves were crushed and scattered. Yes, there's still water there...and a few cattails and an occasional blue heron. But somehow it just isn't the same. Moral: Beware anyone who says, "I can build a better wetland."Remember, the Old Muskrat warned you. 
About This PageThis page is dedicated to all the lost places that were destroyed by little men with big machines and to anyone who ever loved one of those places and felt part of themselves die with it.This is just one of my Earth Pages. For more annotated links to useful environmental sites on the web, please visit Mike Walter's Earth Page, Mike Walter's Earth Page Attic, and Mike Walter's Indiana Earth Page.
