The Wetlands Initiative

Mission

The Wetlands Initiative (TWI) designs, restores, and creates wetlands. We innovate, collaborate, and employ sound science to improve water quality, habitat for plants and wildlife, and our climate.<br><br>TWI was founded in 1994 to reverse the environmental damage created by the drainage of valuable wetlands in the U.S. Midwest. Today TWI works as a "conservation entrepreneur" to develop new methods and strategies for restoring our lost wetland ecosystems.<br>

Vision

A world with plentiful healthy wetlands improving water quality, climate, biodiversity, and human we

Goals

1.Grow our ecosystem restoration projects on both the Illinois and Indiana sides of the Calumet region, an important wetland area heavily marked by industrial development.
2.Increase adoption of constructed wetlands in the Midwest Farm Belt to reduce the nutrient pollution that causes "dead zones" in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere.
3.Grow and diversify our board of directors across a range of demographic characteristics including age, gender, race/ethnicity, location, and life experience.
