Nelson, Executive Director, The Watercourse Program and Project WET) Leapfrogging Through Wetlands helps young people understand the significance of wetlands in ecosystems throughout North America. Readers learn about the vast array of plant and animal life associated with them. Such knowledge is a first step in wetland preservation." (Jim Fisher, Coordinator, Adopt a Pothole, Delta Waterfowl)
