U.S. EPA Mid-Atlantic Region

🌿 Wetlands do more than provide beautiful scenery—they help filter water, reduce flooding, support wildlife, and protect our communities.

Our EPA scientists are out in the field across West Virginia as part of the National Wetlands Condition Assessment. Working alongside the WV Department of Environmental Protection, our teams are studying water quality, plants, soil, and other key indicators to better understand the health of our nation’s wetlands. 🧪🌱

This research helps track how wetlands are changing over time and provides the science needed to protect these valuable ecosystems for future generations.
