Ecosystems Episode 5: The Wetland Ecosystem! (4K)

A natural wonderland of plants, animals, and (of course) water, wetlands are considered the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Frequently disregarded as a waste of land, there is much more to wetlands than what meets the eye. In this video, we’ll learn what wetlands are, what organisms live there, and why they are important to you and me!

This special ecology video series is designed for use by educators and parents to help supplement online education efforts during the coronavirus crisis and beyond. Each episode focuses on a different set of learning standards outlined by the North Carolina State curriculum guide. This video introduces topics in ecology found within objective 5.L.2, which will be expanded on in upcoming videos.

If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I have years of zoology experience under my belt. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.

Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!

Thanks so much for watching today's video! I put a lot of work into this episode, and I really do hope that it helped you understand wetland ecosystems better.

If you don't mind, it would be incredibly helpful if you could share this video with just one teacher or student that you know, as this series was designed with the purpose of assisting educators plan digital curriculums.

As always, don't hesitate to leave me a comment letting me know what you liked (or didn't like) about this video. I read every comment, and your feedback really does help me improve my content.

Keep adventuring everywhere!

Greetings from the Netherlands, I've been waiting for this one! My country has removed so much of its grassy- and tidal wetlands, area's that were incredibly important to migrating birds, the (now here extinct) otters, fish and (now incredibly rare) flowers. And you're right, a lot of people see them as a waste of space or messy. I hope I can help change that one day, and this video is already a step in the right direction. Keep up the good work!

Great video. My students are reading Everglades Forever, and this helped fuller explain some details and gave closer pics of animals that were briefly mentioned in the story. Thank you!

My girls and I have thoroughly enjoyed your ecosystem videos. We are hoping you make more! I’ve been homeschooling for 17 years and these are some of the best videos I found for teaching this topic. Great job!! We are sharing these with all our fellow homeschooler families. - Amy

This is awesome!! Great facts!! You had some epic shots of the animals!!

[TheWildlifeBrothers]

You did an amazing job covering this ecosystem, wetlands are some of my all-time favorite habitats to explore and you did they great justice. These videos are absolutely perfect educational tools, and I really hope that they get the recognition that they deserve. Your shots were stunning, you structured your presentation very well, and you have the perfect pacing and tone for the intended goal of this video. This series is a great example of your ability to read your audience and adjust your skills accordingly, it's very impressive to watch from the standpoint of another creator. Can't wait for more! Also, if you'd like to make a video in this style about the temperate salt marsh up in New Jersey, you have an open invitation to come out and stay with us!
