water features in and around your community to provide an important
habitat for cattails which will provide
a home for many species of water fowl, as well as making a home
for frogs, salamanders, moose, elk and deer? |
| 1b |
Yes, I will build
mini wetlands and plant cattails to provide a home for animals. |
| 2a |
Will the root system of cattails
help prevent erosion by waves and boats along marshes, ponds,
canals, reservoirs, streams, shorelines and enhance the watershed
system? |
| 2b |
Yes, the root system of cattails will prevent
erosion. |
| 3a |

plants to colonize areas of newly exposed wet mud? |
| 3b |
Yes, cattails will be
the first to pollinate a muddy area or pool of water. |
| 4a |
Will developed wetlands that
have cattails improve the water quality because cattails filter
runoff as it flows into the water system? |
| 4b |
Yes, human made or natural wetlands with
cattails will improve the quality
of the environment around them. |
| 5a |
Will the presence of cattails
change the levels of chemicals like fertilizers, pesticides and
nitrates in the soil and water efficiently because they are a
natural filter? |

Yes, cattails act as a filter to clean
the water and will change the
levels of chemicals in the water ecosystem. |
