Emergent Wetlands
Emergent wetlands are very wet areas dominated by grass-like water-loving
plants, often bordering a pond, lake, or stream. Such wetlands are
also called wet meadows or marshes.
Typical emergent wetland vegetation includes cattails, rushes, sedges,
willow, and duckweed. Animals found in the emergent wetlands include muskrats, red wing blackbirds, red-legged frogs, Pacific chorus frogs, salamanders, green herons, great blue herons, and many duck species.
