The more information and graphics you have in your report the better it will be. Do not make your report dry and dull; make it fun, colorful, and educational. I will accept printed paper reports or web page reports (put it online yourself or give me all the web site files on a CD or USB flash drive). The more you have and the more impressive, the better your grade will be. Remember, the reports need to be totally original and individual. No group reports. Do not just copy web sites, I have read them all, so I will know. You are encouraged to visit the area yourself, talk on the phone or by email with real people involved with each wetland. They would love to talk with you, educate you, and give you lots of information and material to help with your report. I have visited most of these wetland areas, and they are some of the most interesting areas in the county.
