1. It serves as a replacement site for wetlands that were removed to construct the Provo Towne Center Mall.
2. They perform many functions, such as storage space for flood water, slowing down flood flow, trapping sediment, and naturally cleaning waste.
3. Wet soil is good because organic matter decomposes slowly in oxygen starved conditions, creating rich soils. This supports dense growth, which traps sediment and provides ideal habitats for many fish species.
4. As seedlings planted in 1997 grow, the wetlands will transition from a wet meadow toward a more mature meadow and shrub complex.
5. Groundwater!
