Abstract
"Introduction
Wetlands provide important habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species and are excellent places to observe wildlife. Many small wetlands involve private land. Some of these areas are very productive and diverse in wildlife species, while others can be made more so by applying a few proven management techniques.
Ducks Unlimited Canada has been actively creating and managing larger wetlands throughout the Maritimes since the mid 1960's. With the publication of this booklet, Ducks Unlimited hopes to assist individuals in managing the thousands of small privately owned marshes."
