wetland preserve

Guarded boggy area

A wetland preserve is a protected area of land where marshes, swamps, bogs, or other water-saturated ecosystems are maintained in their natural state.

These preserves safeguard habitats for wildlife, filter water, and prevent flooding.

Unlike wetlands that might be drained for development, a preserve is specifically designated for conservation, often managed by government agencies or environmental organizations.

The city donated fifty acres to create a wetland preserve along the river.
