Tennessee's wetlands are at risk

This legislative session, Tennessee lawmakers will consider a bill that will remove protections for our state’s wetlands. Today, we’re talking about why wetlands are valuable as part of a healthy ecosystem. We’ll also break down the proposed legislation and check in with local groups working to protect this natural resource.
