 Wetlands
Watch Executive Director, Skip Stiles
I became an environmentalist in the wetlands of Back
Bay in Virginia and the New River in North Carolina. As
a child, hunting and fishing with my father, I saw many
sunrises and sunsets over mid-Atlantic marshes. I
had many quiet conversations with my dad learning about
the habits and habitats of marsh wildlife and the wonders
of our wetlands.
Today I can’t take a breath of the rich, salty air
around a tidal wetland without being transported back to
those wonderful days. That is what drives me to keep
these lands protected and open, so my children and grandchildren
can have the same experiences. |
